Former WWE star Gail Kim expressed her frustration with the company on social media.
It all started with a graphic that was shown on WWE television that had an error on it. It labeled a superstar as an entirely wrong person. The graphic was for “The Kabuki Warriors” (Asuka & Kairi Sane) but included the Twitter handles for Sane and WWE NXT Superstar Io Shirai, not Asuka.
A fan tweeted out a photo of the graphic, which got the attention of Kim. She responded with the following on her official Twitter account:
“Wow….. so sad when they have the most talented asian female wrestlers on the planet. Wake up WWE and stop wasting all of them. Utilize their talent!”
During Monday’s episode of RAW in Pittsburgh, PA, WWE held a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match. This was where the error was made.
In this contest, Bliss and Cross beat The IIconics, Kairi Sane & Asuka, and Sonya Deville & Mandy Rose to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on if Asuka and Sane will get an opportunity at the titles against Bliss and Cross in the near future.
The reason that they could be given a title match is due to them being the #1 contenders for the titles before this match takes place.
Io Shirai will face Candice LeRae in a singles match at the NXT TakeOver: Toronto II special this weekend. We will be providing live coverage of the show.
