Talks of Kairi Sane signing with AEW have been ongoing ever since her release from WWE earlier this year, though time and time again it has emerged that no deal has been made between the two sides, who have reportedly been in talks. There may soon be some more development, as Kairi Sane and Tony Khan have now met. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, Khan and Kairi met on the recent Jericho Cruise, where the latter made a surprise appearance. It was noted that Khan expressed his desire for Kairi to sign with AEW and work in the company, though there is no word on the response to these discussions and whether or not she is more likely to put pen to paper on a deal. Kairi currently does not have a work visa in the US, so things are still a ways out for her to appear in the promotion. 

It was reported in recent months that some of the hold up on Kairi coming to AEW was the fact that she was also in discussions with Japanese promotions, and had yet to make any commitment or decision on her future in professional wrestling.
