WWE: 5 potential dream matches for Io Shirai

2. Kairi Sane

Did you look at the Kairi Sane (known then as Kairi Hojo)/Io Shirai match that I linked to? Pretty good stuff right? Now, imagine those two getting a chance to tell a similar in-ring story at an NXT TakeOver show or on a WWE PPV?

WWE wouldn’t have to scramble to put together a compelling story for these two. Prior to joining WWE, Sane and Shirai battled over the World of Stardom Championship on several occasions. Each of their matches was rife with great back and forth action and strong storytelling. They also teamed together in Stardom, as they won the Artist of Stardom Championships with Mayu Iwatani.

Through their many battles as opponents and as a team, Sane and Shirai have developed great chemistry. They could probably sleepwalk their way through an awesome match. Take a look at that match again if you don’t believe me.

Since Shirai will start in NXT, this match will probably happen sooner than the other ones on this list. Depending on what happens over the next couple of months, these could square off for the NXT Women’s Title. Even if it doesn’t happen right away, a dream match between Sane and Shirai seems like a foregone conclusion.
