"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 🌊⚓️✨"

What IYO SKY's message adds to Kairi Sane's exit

IYO SKY's reaction gives Kairi Sane's departure a more personal weight because it frames the move as more than another line on WWE's release list. When one of WWE's top stars speaks this openly about what Sane meant behind the scenes, it underlines how strongly Sane was regarded inside the company.

It also keeps attention on Sane even after her exit announcement and her own message to fans. That matters because departures like this often become part of the story around where a wrestler resurfaces next, especially when another established name like IYO SKY is publicly endorsing her talent and experience.
