The Pirate Princess is setting sail. KAIRI has revealed why she chose Chris Jericho’s Rock N Wrestling Rager At Sea as her first wrestling activity since leaving WWE — and it’s the most KAIRI reason imaginable.

KAIRI was released from her WWE contract in April 2026 and has been free to wrestle elsewhere since July, yet she hasn’t taken a single booking — until now. Earlier this month it was announced that she will take part in the Jericho Cruise, sailing November 7th to 11th.
A Pirate Princess, Aboard a Ship
Speaking to Weekly Pro Wrestling in a recent interview, KAIRI explained the choice: “I received a truly wonderful offer from the Jericho Cruise. The idea of working aboard a ship as the ‘Pirate Princess’ really excites me. After leaving WWE, I wanted my first wrestling related activity to be something I genuinely wanted to do, and this was it.”
It’s hard to argue with the logic — the Pirate Princess belongs at sea. The cruise setting gives her a one-of-a-kind stage for a comeback, and it means her return won’t be tied to any single promotion’s expectations.
What’s Next After the Cruise?
KAIRI also addressed what could come after the Rager At Sea in the same interview, keeping her cards close. Fightful Select has separately reported that her AEW status is not being held up by visa issues — keeping the door wide open for wherever the Pirate Princess steers her ship next.
