Sane worked with them before moving to WWE. Both her and the promotion were eager for reunion if only for a night. However, the WWE denied their requests.
“Even though she asked, Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane) was unable to get WWE permission to do the show. They had left it up to WWE. They wanted her in a big singles match but also offered WWE having her do a Rumble with legends. Sane is still under contract to WWE and works as a Japanese ambassador.”
