For anyone who hasn't seen any of Kairi Sane's work outside of the WWE main roster, you are doing yourself a disservice.

A staple of Stardom, one of the top all-female wrestling promotions in the world, for five years, Sane won multiple championships and earned critical acclaim for her matches against the likes of Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani, and Meiko Satomura.

Sane joined WWE in 2017 and won the first instalment of the Mae Young Classic. She would go onto have an excellent rivalry with the woman she beat in that tournament final, Shayna Baszler.

As it turns out, the Pirate Princess isn't just accomplished inside a wrestling ring. She was interested in acting in her youth and even had hopes of competing in the Olympics with the Japanese yachting team.

Sane is also an accomplished academic too. The former NXT Women's Champion secured a degree in Japanese Literature from Hosei University, meaning that she can beat you in a fight and then in a pub quiz.

Kairi is clearly very intelligent as well as a fantastic athlete and inspired performer. Which is obviously why WWE are doing absolutely nothing with her right.
