The press conference was interrupted by Unagi Sayaka and Tam Nakano, and Sane expressed interest in teaming with Mayu Iwatani to face them at Sumo Hall. Sane was then attacked by members of the Oedo Tai stable after the press conference.

Sane noted at the press conference that she is in the best shape she's ever been in. It was also stated that her ring name will be stylized as KAIRI, with no last name.

Sane spent more than 6 years with Stardom before being signed by WWE in 2017. She won the 2017 Mae Young Classic, the WWE NXT Women's Title, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles before returning to Japan in July 2021 to be with her husband. She continued to work in Japan as a WWE Ambassador, until her contract just recently expired. There had been rumors of a return to WWE but that obviously is not happening now.
