Yeah, considering there’s a possibility of STARDOM having a bigger presence in wrestling in 2020-2021 but the prospect of them working in America occasionally on NJoA shows, I can’t blame her for at least looking at the wider wrestling world now. It could go either way. They could keep her with a good deal but then she could also think “Did my time, got my money, let’s see where this goes”. Also in her thirties. Might be thinking of settling down. I know asuka is married with kid. But who knows. The japanese keep their relationship status top secret thanks to their management

And then u got Stardom and NJPWs whole influence there now. NJPW has no influence on STARDOM - Bushiroad runs them as two separate entities.

That would be a massive pickup for AEW if they got Kairi

I wouldn’t begrudge Sane either way. While she hasn’t been given the strongest platforms to reach her fullest potential yet in WWE, it’s not like she’s in the absolute arse-end or the division... That said, it’s hard to picture when she might get that shot, what with the established top stars already there and the new talents coming over from NXT.

Where has that ever been reported? Not denying it, just never seen that anywhere.

Stephania revealed her being a wife and mother last year during wrestlemania pressers. After said presser yeah nothing. Japanese Talent agencies specifically for women want their love lives secret. Besides being arrested with her then bf nosawa no news of any relationship was reported for io. And then we know of the abusive young girl lesbian relationships that vets in gaea had made mandatory. Like anyways...

Not sure about the married bit, but Charlotte mentioned after WrestleMania 34 that Asuka had a child/had children.

Kairis first question when it comes to negotiation IMO should be what is their plan for her for the next year WM to WM and if they could not provide a clear anwser then that makes it a very easy choice on whether to stay with this company or not.

WWE doesn’t even know what their plan is for Brock probably and he only works like 10 dates a year, no way would they have a plan for someone like Kairi.

She's gonna skip pirate mania? Knowing Vince he will just give the pirate gimmick to Alexa Bliss and and it was that since he's already taken the pirate gimmick away from kairi

As previously noted, there is talk that Kairi Sane could be leaving WWE when her contract expires in 2020. As far as Asuka goes, the belief is that she won't be leaving WWE. Dave Meltzer noted the following about Asuka's status: “I’ve heard no rumblings whatsoever of Asuka leaving,” Meltzer said. “I’m under the impression she’s very happy in this country.”There is speculation that Asuka could be getting a renewed singles push soon and will be facing Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble. There's more than one American promotion, Dave. If you think she's staying in WWE that's fine, but saying it's because she likes it in the states is stupid. Guarantee AEW would want her if she expressed interest. The woman is a genuine one of a kind talent.

Funny enough, Dave mentioned that in terms of Brock, he is the only person that gets any form of long term planning. They have his challenger determined by the end of the calendar year since he's signed. As for Kairi, if I were her, I would have a provision in my contract to where she can't fall below a certain level at this point. Because its blatantly obvious if the TLC rumors are true, she's gonna fall right back down the card into obscurity, which will likely factor into her decision on if she signs a new deal or not. {Spoiler}{TLC SPOILER/RUMOR: CLICK TO SHOW} Kairi Sane and Asuka vs Charlotte and Becky in a TLC Match for the TAG TITLES. Yes. The RAW Women's Title is not being defended.

Just to be clear, Meltzer is speculating, but by the sound of it he has good reason to.
Some people who report more specifically on women's wrestling have things to say on the matter, driving home that it's speculation, and that in fact there might be a few other women on their way out:
Still, regarding Meltzer's basis for speculation:
-As mentioned in the OP, Bushiroad now owns Stardom; Kidani, the company's chairman, just expressed interest in bringing both Io and Kairi back to their old promotion when their contracts are up. -More importantly: now that Bushiroad owns Stardom it has more money behind it than ever before and offers a bigger, more attractive and lucrative stage. Having Kairi as a returning top face for their new era has to be incredibly appealing to them. -Meantime, there were rumors not all that long ago that one of the Japanese women signed to WWE was feeling "homesick", and some process of elimination had people figuring it was likely Kairi. -By the sound of things Meltzer's main source on joshi in the States is Fumi Saito, who's tight with management at STARDOM, so it's a pretty reliable source of info. -For good measure, Kenny Omega was recently asked which woman from WWE he'd be most interested in bringing to AEW and he almost immediately answered "Kairi". -Keep in mind that both Riho and Bea Priestly currently work Stardom and AEW (though I suppose it's possible that could change once Stardom's new contracts kick in).
So basically, there's enough pieces here to reasonably speculate that Kairi could be on her way out, or at the very least be setting herself up for a nice bidding war between WWE, AEW, and Stardom. Given the changes in the wrestling landscape since she signed with WWE and given the possibility that she might indeed by the "homesick" wrestler, she'd be well within her rights and damn smart to do so. Finally, Kairi is 31 now and might feel like she can do better working places beyond just WWE if they don't have a solid creative path forward in mind for her right now, given that she's still in her prime years but not near the end of the line yet. A five year deal might not be the best for her unless they bowl her over on annual base salary.

Is there a source for those homesick rumors? Because I remember Kairi being homesick when she first moved over here. But now she's really close to a lot of people in NXT, and is roommates with Xia Li. She also regularly visits Japan apparently. She was just there a few months ago. She also sent out a tweet a couple of months ago during the media tour for the Japan tour with a link to an interview she did. She said that she was happy living in America, and had a lot of friends here. And that she still regularly stays in contact with her family.

Depends on how happy Kairi may be, because recently we've been seeing money doesn't matter to some of these talents over how mismanaged their careers are being

I do recall that in some of her blogs she was having trouble adjusting to life in the States.
