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.

Good, I don't think it's far fetched to say the IWC loves ourselves some Asuka and Kairi. Much more than the WWE seems at times.

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:

I do wonder who the other girls are. The girls who came in around the same time that Kairi Sane did for the original MYC were: Dakota Kai, Tegan Nox, Vanessa Borne, Bianca Belair, Shayna Baszler, Taynara, Sarah Logan, Xia Li, Rhea Ripley and Candice Lerae. In the case of Dakota & Tegan, both probably had their contracts extended due to how long both were on the injured list. Most of these girls get used alot and are mainstays on NXT TV( the exceptions being Vanessa Borne, Xia Li and Taynara).

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.

I thought the homesick rumor was referring to Io Shirai. I do recall that in some of her blogs she was having trouble adjusting to life in the States.

I have a feeling that if nxt was in los angeles or vegas more of the foreign talent would feel at ease in a multicultural place with asian, european, and latin hubs

I mean just a thing

Also the lesbian forced relationships in joshi ate f***ing gross

It is like that until the girls get freedom to date men it is f***ing gross

With wwe, aew, ddt, and bushi road going full throttle featuring women in prominent roles this is great for the wrestlers.

It's incredible how over Asuka still is despite how poorly WWE has handled her booking at times.

Asuka gets missteps like losing to charlotte, but winning the title from becky.

Or kabuki warriors being managed by paige and going nowhere. Then suddenly winning the titles and getting an updated look and getting cheered harder by the fans. It is like she can persevere through shit booking and come out stronger

Think shell end up in AEW with all the joshi girls working there and Kenny being a big influence for them. Kairi has been badly mishandled on the main roster, turned heel despite being one of the most natural faces and having her pirate gimmick taken away, its obvious there is no future for her without asuka.

Aww, she's my favourite! (Bar Nikki Cross of course - Scottish solidarity!)
