AEW enters contract talks with former WWE wrestler Kairi

AEW is currently in negotiations with Kairi regarding a potential signing. The wrestler finished her second tenure with WWE in April 2026 after concluding her run on the Raw brand alongside Asuka. While multiple promotions have expressed interest in her services, no contract has been finalized at this stage. Representatives for Kairi have been exploring options, though she is not expected to join Marigold. Kairi is currently represented by Barry Bloom, who also manages several high-profile AEW performers. Although rumors circulated regarding a possible appearance at All In, the wrestler was not involved in the creative planning for that event. Future developments remain pending as she considers various international and North American opportunities.
