Good for her getting out on her own terms but the fact WWE did absolutely nothing with her on the main roster outside of having Nia try and end her career , and now they wanna keep her tethered to the company just so she doesn't wrestle for anyone else in the future, again, after cutting DOZENS of wrestlers just a few months ago, is such typical WWE bullshit that it's incredible, lol. It's the equivalent of a kid not wanting a toy, but the second someone else wants to play with it, they lock it in a safe, they still hate it, they just don't want other kids to have fun with it either. Lol. Interesting wording there... While it wasn't intentional on their behalf, I don't know what idiot greenlit a second match between Kairi and Nia after the first match Nia was an inch from disaster with her, and then the second match it was just flat out disaster. It was extremely shortsighted booking imo.

I hope she made 'nuff money so she can buy her family a new ship to sail with.

Who needs money when the homies brought the spare ship with'em. ![](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/a94bc94e-9670-4c1e-a0da-77505ad13d73/dahg2sc-5c51ba95-950d-4fc0-aa92-aef6e5594da8.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvYTk0YmM5NGUtOTY3MC00YzFlLWEwZGEtNzc1MDVhZDEzZDczXC9kYWhnMnNjLTVjNTFiYTk1LTk1MGQtNGZjMC1hYTkyLWFlZjZlNTU5NGRhOC5wbmcifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.h_sLA7FNkO6tyNN8YR21MIMXzvAOXADh17rpiTTe6LQ)

I still hate that COVID prevented us from seeing what kinds of crazy stuff they could’ve had Kairi do with the pirate ship in Raymond James Stadium at WrestleMania.

Keeping her under contract, while using her to potentially open and then wrestle for, or do agent work, with a Japanese NXT branch sounds like a great idea.
Plus, it keeps her money coming in while she starts any family she would like to.
Win-Win.

Yeah, I definitely feel keeping her under contract is more about having a Japanese ambassador then straight up talent hoarding

NXT UK hasn't exactly been a rip roaring success, in fact some people have been wondering if it's gonna die. I don't really see this happening especially now. But I guess good on Kairi for getting money for sitting at home.

Even if they don’t plan on NXT Japan any more, it’s smart to have people like Kairi and Shinsuke under contract to be brand ambassadors for the company when they still intend to tour Japan once or twice a year

But I guess good on Kairi for getting money for sitting at home. Likely true, but I could seem trying to do a partnership/talent exchange type deal with some other established Japanese company. They have history of doing it, and so having some Japanese names to basically be the face of any potential deal like that....maybe I'm giving WWE more credit, but it feels very Triple H'y as an idea.

Keeping Kairi under some form of contract is also a good idea if just for the fact that Japanese wrestling fans see her as the most popular women's wrestler over there.

Having her as a Japanese brand ambassador? Great idea.
But they have more chance of an NXT Antarctica than an NXT Japan.

Outside of a paycheck, why would she want to stay affiliated with them? It’s not like they treated her wrestling career very well.

She would probably be in a role similar to what Sareee is doing right now (albeit slightly different circumstances, as Sareee is just waiting to be able to relocate to the US, as she was originally supposed to move over in March, but the pandemic hurt that), in that Sareee is currently covering RAW and Smackdown for J-Sports, and talking about storylines and such. Kairi would likely be in that same role, along with doing PR work. Outside of a paycheck, why would she want to stay affiliated with them? It’s not like they treated her wrestling career very well. It's been widely reported that her and WWE are on very good terms right now (she's also near universally loved backstage, there has never been a negative report about her). And she mentioned shortly after she got married that she was strongly considering having a family very soon. A career in WWE that isn't physical would be a safe choice for someone who will probably be pregnant by this time next year if she's telling the truth.

Like some already assumed that of course the intent or atleast 1 of the major ones is to keep her away from other promotions.
The ole we do not want to invest in playing with this awesome toy everyone else really wants but no one else can have it.
