As you're all well aware, I don't have much experience with the independent women's wrestling scene. I say that to point out that all of my Kairi Sane experience comes from her work in NXT, AND SHE STILL RATES THIS HIGHLY.

Kairi Sane's every facial expression, every move, every mannerism, shouldn't impress me like it does. She's taken a 1993-career-as-a-gimmick and turned it into this exquisite role that seems beyond cosplay but less than a legitimate career. She has a grace in her every movement and a certain serenity to her character when she isn't fighting. Her wide-eyed enthusiasm is infectious. And when she gets in the ring, she strikes like a young child possessed with righteous fury. Her little toy soldier march to the corner of the ring gets a chuckle out of me while at the same time primes me for some hard-hitting beatdown. Her moves look sharp and painful even though she has such a small frame. She makes Alexa Bliss' five feet of fury look like 60 inches of slovenly shit. Instead, Kairi makes her five feet into a torpedo that whips around the ring before destroying opponents with the greatest elbow I've ever seen.

Kairi has quickly become one of my favorite parts of WWE, and I can't wait to see where she goes next in NXT. It's hard to quantify exactly what makes her so fundamentally fascinating to me, but she possesses this undeniable charisma that so few women in wrestling ever display. And that ranks her #4 on this list's women.
