WWE engaged in their usual post-WrestleMania releases over the last few days, letting go a whole bunch of names across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT including Kairi Sane, Alba Fyre, The Wyatt Sicks, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, and several others. Wrestlers and personalities from in and around the professional wrestling world have spoken out in support of many of those who have lost their jobs, one of those being WWE announcer Jackie Redmond, though she has now deleted her tweet.
On the back of Kairi Sane’s release, Jackie Redmond tweeted out a “WeWantKairi” hashtag in similar fashion to when fans pushed for the re-signing of R-Truth or the injection of Cody Rhodes back into the WrestleMania 40 main event. However, those in WWE or TKO may not have been all too impressed with Redmond’s push to potentially bring back Kairi Sane as it wasn’t long until her tweet was deleted.
Redmond’s X account now just shows her reposting a tweet from Iyo Sky which talked about Sane after her release;
“I understand that everyone, as an athlete, eventually faces a turning point when thinking about their life and career, but I feel so heartbroken that it came at such an unexpected time. Kairi was truly loved by all her colleagues, not just as a performer but as a person. She was kinder than anyone, a little airheaded in the most endearing way, funny, charming, and my proud best friend.
“A comrade-in-arms who faced countless hardships in America, shed so many tears, and grew together with me. It's so hard to accept that Kairi won't be in the passenger seat of the rental car anymore, but… I’m absolutely certain that with her innate talent and the incredible knowledge and experience she’s gained in WWE, Kairi’s new journey will be something truly amazing. From the bottom of my heart, I wish for my beloved Kairi’s success and happiness. I love you so much Kairi. We’ll be best friends forever and always.”
