Report: Why Kairi Was Able To Appear On Chris Jericho’s Cruise

Former WWE star Kairi made her first appearance since leaving WWE at Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise. During the final night of the cruise, she got into a run-in with Zack Gibson, Blake Christian, and Jay Lethal, delivering an Insane Elbow to Lethal.

Dave Meltzer mentioned on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Kairi still does not have a work visa for the United States, preventing her from working in the country. However, since the cruise took place in international waters, Kairi was able to perform because she was not on U.S. soil and was thus not under U.S. jurisdiction. Meltzer also noted that Kairi is currently a free agent.

There is no information yet on when or if Kairi might sign with AEW. Reports indicate that she has had discussions with the company but did not sign with them before the cruise began.
