So far we have heard talks of stars being unhappy on the main roster but now a latest report reveals that an NXT star is also not satisfied with her position in the company.
According to reports from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, NXT star Io Shirai is “not necessarily happy” with how she has been used in the Black and Yellow brand.
Meltzer did not go into the details on the reason behind her unhappiness, but it was noted that Io Shirai’s NXT pay is ‘nothing special.’ She used to make more money in Japan while working fewer dates.
Another possible reason for this could be Shirai’s relationship with NJPW star Evil. Io is engaged to the Japanese star but there is no word yet on when the two wrestling stars are planning to tie the knot.
On a related note, it’s been said previously that Stardom promotion in Japan is interested in bringing both Io Shirai and Kairi Sane back to the company.
The women’s promotion was bought up by NJPW’s parent company Bushiroad last year and it’s expected that they will be putting a lot of resources into the promotion.
So they can make a significant offer to try and bring the female stars back to Japan when their contract expires and WWE is very likely to counteract this by calling Io up to the main roster which will greatly increase her pay.
Kairi Sane signed a 3 years long deal with WWE in March 2017 which means that her current contract should be expiring soon. On the other hand, Io signed with the promotion around the summer of 2018 but there are no more details available on her deal.
