Former Champion Leaving WWE Soon

Enjoy her while you can. WWE has a lot of very talented wrestlers from around the world and that is a good situation to be in. It allows the company to appeal to several potential fan bases at the same time while also keeping things fresh with a rotating lineup. This is the case for both the men’s and women’s divisions, but now one of the names seems ready to walk away.

The Mae Young Classic did an outstanding job of replenishing the WWE women’s division. That is something that every division needs from time to time and the tournament did a great job of bringing in all kinds of new names in the span of a few weeks. While there were several names in both tournament who went on to become stars, the winners would likely be at the top of the list, and WWE is about to lose one.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kairi Sane is leaving WWE to return to Japan to be with her husband. WWE has known of these plans since May and had planned to have her written out of the company at Summerslam with a storyline career ending injury. However, Sane has not wrestled or been referenced since she was legitimately injured in a match against Nia Jax on the June 1 Monday Night Raw. Sane is currently being advertised to appear on this week’s Monday Night Raw. There is no word on if WWE is sticking with the Summerslam plan now after Sane’s injury.

Sane had a rather nice WWE career. Check out some of her highlights:

Opinion: If this is what Sane wants to do, then good for her. She has been a good addition to WWE but it’s hard to get annoyed at her for wanting to be with her husband, who is on the other side of the world at the moment. She came to WWE, certainly didn’t do badly, and is walking away while she is still rather young. That’s more than some people get to do and if that’s what makes her happy then so be it.

What have you thought of Sane’s time in WWE? How will she leave? Let us know in the comments below.
