After being subjected to some racially charged taunts at Thursday’s WWE NXT live event in St. Petersburg, Florida, Kairi Sane has responded with a message of kindness.
According to a fan in attendance, some fans yelled “Happy ending” and “Pearl Harbor” at Sane (as she wrestled Rhea Ripley).

Another fan in attendance corroborated the taunts, saying that a guy yelled “Remember Pearl Harbor” at Sane.
To the guy who yelled, "Remember Pearl Harbor" toward Kairi Sane at #NXTStPetersburg…. I'd like to meet you outside and personally show you how we treat women, let alone Japanese women. You're a piece of shit and I'll spit in your face.

2018-2-22 #NXTStPetersburg Match 7: This is the elbow that Rhea Ripley did not avoid. Kairi Sane gets such great height on this move that I was a little worried about the ceiling… @WWENXT pic.twitter.com/fXpAMVDxYj
