The Road to WrestleMania officially kicks off next month with the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, and this time around an ex-WWE Superstar was supposed to return.
According to a report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE had plans to bring STARDOM wrestler KAIRI (Kairi Sane) back for the Women’s Royal Rumble. However, now that KAIRI has been crowned the IWGP Women’s World Champion, those plans could be up in the air. Meltzer said,
“An interesting part of that story is that it had been rumored Kairi would be in this year’s Royal Rumble, but those rumors were prior to the decision changing with her getting the IWGP women’s title, which could change the dynamic.”
In January 2022, WWE opened the forbidden door by allowing then-Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James to participate in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
