Kairi Sane’s WWE release is already causing backlash—and now Triple H is right in the middle of it in a big way.
Just one day after reports noted that Kairi Sane was part of WWE’s latest round of releases, Triple H dropped a standard promotional post on Twitter on April 25, 2026, revealing a new Backlash poster featuring Roman Reigns front and center.
“The OTC returns to Tampa, FL… #WWEBacklash is LIVE from the @benchmark_arena in 2 weeks!”
Instead of hyping the show, fans immediately turned the replies into a reaction thread about the cuts—and Sane’s name kept coming up. One fan didn’t hold back, using the moment to vent frustration over WWE’s recent decisions and calling out the handling of talent like Sane.
“F*** you man you are creatively bankrupt and you are just TKO’s little bitch like really releasing the best tag team on your roster because you don’t care about tag team wrestling. And Kairi Sane just waiting for the day you get fired because it will come 😡”
Another reply shifted the focus to the growing list of releases, pushing for WWE leadership to reverse course and bring several names back.
“No one is watching this. Tell ari to Rehire Zelina, Kairi & Black, mcmg & santos.”
Others pointed to Sane’s recent booking, arguing that her release didn’t line up with the direction WWE had been taking with her character: “firing kairi after spending a whole year building her face turn.” Other fans also started a #WeWantKairi thread for good measure.”
And for some, the reaction was blunt—making it clear the release overshadowed anything WWE was trying to promote.
“After what you did to Kairi WE. DO. NOT. CARE. F***you Hunter, WE WANT KAIRI”
The reaction shows just how quickly fan sentiment can shift — especially when a major release happens at the same time WWE is promoting upcoming events. Bottom line: Triple H tried to hype Backlash — but fans used the moment to push back hard on Kairi Sane’s reported release.
Do you think WWE should reconsider Kairi Sane’s release after this level of backlash, or will this blow over once the next storyline kicks in? Let us know your thoughts.
