Io Shirai leaving STARDOM for WWE, final show on June 17

[Lord Scion]

She was gonna join with Kairi Hojo/Sane but she had an undisclosed heart condition which caused the WWE docs to go

Now that she’s taking meds for it they’re probably gonna clear her depending on her neck because that was the other thing that went into question with her physical

 

[THE 101]

They've barely done anything with Kairi since signing her though

Unless you just want the money

According to Double Talk:

• She’s gonna make less money. (Those NXT paychecks are )
• WWE made contact with her back in 2016
• She visited the Performance Center and hated how it operated.
• Changed her mind like two months later.
• Tried to sign with Kairi but of course the physical went bad
• And has real life beef with Asuka

 

[Lord Scion]

Toni Storm is finally on her way too now that’s her contract with STARDOM is up.

Also the WWE made contact with more STARDOM talent outside those two.


My question is however, yea... the NXT women’s divison will be set for a good while.

But what about when it’s time for these women to go to the main roster. Assuming nothing happens to the women currently there, they barely have time for what they have.

SmackDown is the perfect example where every week is a got damn multi man match.

 

[The Rainmaker]

If only her sister wasn't injured we would've got a Triple Tails reunion on the E

She won the MYC, was in the Royal Rumble, was in the WM battle royal, & is more than likely going to be the one who beats Shayna on her way up for the belt, all in a year plus Kairi missed some time shortly after she got there. They clearly like her to be putting her in the Rumble/WM battle royal but they aren't just shooting her straight to the belt because NXT is a babyface factory right now & Kairi is helping build up the heels from the PC because she's great at working with young, newer people. I mean outside of Shayna who is there as a heel for Kairi to work with if she had the belt right now?

"You're the real Joshi star Charlotte"

I think we all know there is only one true Joshi star...







Went over Stardoms top star & their top foreign star in 1 tour

the hell

 

[Hey_zeus]

Neck passed the test this time?

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Happy people are getting paid but I abhor monopolies so this irks me at the same time.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Neckbeards out here acting as if someone sells out signing with the E



she could probably buy TNA now

 

[MenacingMonk]

Don't see her staying long if she didn't care for things. Probably wants a little change.

Haven't read the report, but it sounds like she just got tired of the Joshi scene and wanted something new. Wouldn't be surprised if she got sick of it after a few months if she hated it on first sight, though.

The single funniest thing about Asuka's WWE run is how docile she's been behind the scenes, given that she alienated EVERYONE in Japan (she was Low Ki bad, seriously). The Triple Tails fallout was fairly acrimonious, if I remember correctly, so it'll be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out in WWE.
