Kairi Sane reveals why she "cried alone" at home during WWE run
Kairi Sane revealed in a recent interview that she used to cry alone during her WWE stint due to the pressure of doing promos in the English language.
Kairi Sane parted ways with WWE in 2020 following a three-year run with the company. She later worked for WWE as an ambassador as well.
Sane recently appeared in an interview with Proresu Today and spoke candidly about her WWE run. She revealed that she was under a lot of stress as her job required her to cut promos in the English language. There were times when Sane used to cry alone at home.
"It was a treasure-like day. I spent a lot of time crying. [referring to her WWE run]. It wasn't in front of everyone, but there were times when I went home and cried alone... There were times like that, but even though I practiced a lot in the microphone performance class at NXT, I couldn't speak English well in the actual performance, and I was frustrated and cried," Sane said.
