Especially considering it looks like an injury kept Io Shirai from even signing with the company, news that Kairi Sane suffered a concussion during the Mae Young Classic (MYC) taping (WARNING: there be spoilers at that link) had a lot of fans nervous about the prospects of seeing their favorite joshi stars in WWE.
Unless you’ve read results for the matches already filmed for the upcoming Women’s tournament (here and here, if you’re interested), it wasn’t clear that Sane’s injury was going to effect the WWE Network series, the first four episodes of which debut on Monday, August 28.
But it looks like we don’t have to worry about it anyway, because NXT is advertising her for a Florida house show on Thursday, August 10:
#MaeYoungClassic competitor @KairiSaneWWE will be in action TOMORROW at #NXTStPetersburg! Grab your tickets here: https://t.co/kCpaDQCzUx pic.twitter.com/5qCBuhrXr3

So we may not be getting Stardom’s Ace, but it’s full speed ahead for another of the best wrestlers in the world.
Excited?
