Io Shirai Not Going To WWE

Well it looks like the former two time World of Stardom Champion, one-time Goddess of Stardom, Wonder of Stardom, High Speed and SWA World Champion, five-time Artist of Stardom Champion and 2015 and 2016 women's wrestler of the year (Tokyo Sports) is not going to the WWE.

She and Kairi Hojo had been contacted and offered WWE contracts, starting in 2017.
But after a WWE medical examination discovered a neck injury that would delay Shirai's WWE debut, she was released even after doctors had cleared Shirai to return to the ring.

The WWE said that they had a "general rule of not wanting to bring in new talent that either has concussion issues or neck issues".

I wonder what, if any, effect that will have on Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane) since she suffered both a concussion and a neck injury during the tapings of the Mae Young Classic tournament.
