Kairi Sane Tweets Response To Racially Charged Taunts At WWE NXT Live Event In Florida
After being subjected to some racially charged taunts at Thursday's WWE NXT live event in St. Petersburg, Florida, Kairi Sane has responded with a message of kindness.
According to a fan in attendance, some fans yelled "Happy ending" and "Pearl Harbor" at Sane (as she wrestled Rhea Ripley).
Douchebags saying "Happy ending" and "Pearl Harbor" at @KairiSaneWWE should be removed from the facility. Their tickets should be confiscated and their credit cards should be blocked from buying future tickets. @WWENXT #NXTStPetersburg

Another fan in attendance corroborated the taunts, saying that a guy yelled "Remember Pearl Harbor" at Sane.
To the guy who yelled, "Remember Pearl Harbor" toward Kairi Sane at #NXTStPetersburg.... I'd like to meet you outside and personally show you how we treat women, let alone Japanese women. You're a piece of s–t and I'll spit in your face.

2018-2-22 #NXTStPetersburg Match 7: This is the elbow that Rhea Ripley did not avoid. Kairi Sane gets such great height on this move that I was a little worried about the ceiling... @WWENXT pic.twitter.com/fXpAMVDxYj
