In 2017, KAIRI was signed by WWE. She had been with Stardom for more than 6 years before that. There was a wrestling tournament in 2017 that she won called Mae Young Classic. She also won WWE NXT Women’s Champion and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion. In 2021, she will return to Japan to be with her husband. Until recently, she worked in Japan as a WWE Ambassador.
As an ambassador for WWE, KAIRI came back to Japan in July 2020 and worked with the company. When her contract ran out in February, the wrestler was free and clear to do it all over again.
A match between Kairi and Starlight Kid will be her first one-on-one match in almost two years on Sunday.
