Kairi Sane and Io Shirai have been with WWE for a few years now as Sane is currently the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Asuka while Shirai is still in NXT.
Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter on how much money they made after first arriving at WWE. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
“WWE did not pay big money for Shirai and Sane, believed to be in the range of $60,000 per year for each to start, which is less than both were earning in Stardom. Sane likely makes more now working on the main roster than she did in Japan.”
