The reaction to Kairi Sane’s WWE release just took another turn—and this time, it’s coming from someone even closer to her—IYO SKY.
While #WeWantKairi continues to surge as the #2 trending topic on Twitter, the latest update comes from IYO SKY, who shared a lengthy and deeply personal message about Sane on Twitter to share a deeply personal message about her longtime friend. Instead of a short reaction, SKY wrote a lengthy tribute—opening up about how sudden the situation felt and how much Sane meant to her beyond wrestling.
“I understand that everyone, as an athlete, eventually faces a turning point when thinking about their life and career, but I feel so heartbroken that it came at such an unexpected time 💔”
She then spoke about how widely respected Sane was backstage, not just for her work in the ring, but for who she is as a person.
“Kairi was truly loved by all her colleagues, not just as a performer but as a person.”
From there, the message became even more personal, as Sky described their bond and everything they went through together during their time in the United States.
“She was kinder than anyone, a little airheaded in the most endearing way, funny, charming, and my proud best friend. A comrade-in-arms who faced countless hardships in America, shed so many tears, and grew together with me.”
The Genius of the Sky also acknowledged the reality of moving forward without Sane by her side, pointing to the small moments that now feel different.
“It's so hard to accept that Kairi won't be in the passenger seat of the rental car anymore, but...”
Despite the heartbreak, Sky made it clear she believes Sane’s next chapter will be just as impactful. She closed her message with a direct show of love and support.
“I’m absolutely certain that with her innate talent and the incredible knowledge and experience she’s gained in WWE, Kairi’s new journey will be something truly amazing. From the bottom of my heart, I wish for my beloved Kairi’s success and happiness. I love you so much Kairi. We’ll be best friends forever and always 🌊⚓️✨”
The timing of this message matters. With fans pushing the #WeWantKairi movement and Asuka already speaking out in support, SKY’s words bring the focus even closer to the locker room itself—showing just how much Sane meant to those around her. Nothing official has changed regarding Sane’s status, but the response—both online and internally—continues to build.
Do you think WWE should reconsider after this level of support from both fans and fellow wrestlers, or is Kairi Sane’s next chapter better off happening somewhere else? Let us know your thoughts.
