Summary

Kairi Sane could still make one more WWE appearance at Backlash even after her release on April 24.

A new report says there is belief inside WWE that Sane has a better than 50 percent chance of showing up on Saturday to wrap up her story involving Asuka and IYO SKY. Asuka is already scheduled to face IYO in singles action at the event.

That possibility keeps some uncertainty around Sane's exit and follows recent coverage of Kairi Sane addressing speculation after her WWE departure.

Quote from Bryan Alvarez

"Within WWE, it's felt there is a better than 50% chance that Kairi shows up at Backlash to at least finish off that storyline."

What Kairi Sane could change at Backlash

If Kairi Sane does appear, her involvement would immediately affect the fallout of Asuka vs. IYO SKY and give WWE a cleaner ending point for a story that was left hanging by her exit.

It would also leave open the question of whether this is only a one-night wrap-up or the start of a more complicated arrangement, but the only clear fact right now is that WWE still sees a Backlash cameo as possible.
