PWInsider reported on Saturday evening that Kairi was set to return to WWE and that her return was "imminent."
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer also reported that Kairi will return to WWE, but said "maybe November" for her return as she has more dates in Japan.
Kairi left WWE in July 2020 to return to Japan and become an ambassador for the company. She returned to STARDOM in March 2022 and became the first-ever IWGP Women's Champion at NJPW x STARDOM Historic X-Over when she defeated Mayu Iwatani.
Fightful will continue to update fans on Kairi's status when more is known.
