As noted, Tokyo Sports first reported this week that Shirai will be heading to WWE following the Korakuen Hall show. Shirai had attended a WWE tryout last spring and was offered a deal, however it was pulled after she failed her medicals.
Shirai returned to Stardom last July and won the Wonder of Stardom Championship for the second time in November. Shirai dropped the title last week to Momo Watanabe.
