Io Shirai Has Not Signed With WWE

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, STARDOM’s Io Shirai has not signed with WWE. Her trip to Orlando in late March to the Performance Center as part of WWE’s effort to recruit her, “didn’t go swimmingly from her standpoint.” Shirai is Stardom’s biggest star and Kairi Hojo (who has signed with WWE) was their number 2. Mayu Iwatani, STARDOM’s #3 star, is also reportedly retiring, so losing all three would have been a huge blow to the promotion.
