Kairi Sane and Former WWE Stars Plot Next Moves After Contract End

Kairi Sane’s 90‑day non‑compete clause with WWE has expired and she remains unsigned, although several promotions have shown interest. She updated her social‑media profiles to list agent Barry Bloom – who represents top AEW talent such as Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks – and posted a motorbike photo captioned “See you soon,” sparking speculation that she may join All Elite Wrestling.

Other former WWE performers have also resumed activity. Samuel Shaw (formerly Dexter Lumis) returned to the ring on 25 July at Atomic Legacy Wrestling, teaming again with Joseph Sawyer (formerly Joe Gacy) and targeting the PWJ Tag Team Championship. Nikki Storm, known as Nikki Cross, announced a comeback alongside her husband, while new WWE recruit Mike Santana explained the personal significance of his ring name.

These developments illustrate how several ex‑WWE talent are navigating new opportunities across independent promotions, primarily in the United States and Japan.
