WWE hasn’t been a new platform for Kairi Sane. Already working for the Stamford-based promotion since 2016, the fans are very well acquainted with the former NXT Women’s Champion. However, she was nowhere to be seen after her contract with WWE expired.
After much adieu, Kairi is now back in the company. Interfering in the WWE Women’s Championship match between Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair, she aligned herself with the defending champion, Iyo Sky. The fans were quite excited to see the Japanese actress back in the ring once again. Iyo too expressed her happiness as she gave her friend a tight hug in the ring.
Fans couldn’t hold themselves back and took to X to express themselves on Kairi’s return. A fan wrote, “The queen of the greatest elbow drop is back!” Being a surprising return, fans could help but go gaga over the beautiful lady. “Seeing Iyo and Kairi together brought tears to my eyes bro!” wrote another fan, genuinely happy to see the pair.
Despite the surprising return, Sane failed to hype up the crowd, which certainly upset many. “I couldn’t get that electric reaction from the crowd,” a user wrote. “the crowd had no idea who just returned,” another fan broke the ice listening to the unpleasant reaction from the audience.
How did Kairi Sane change the course of the match at WWE Crown Jewel?
Kairi Sane cut ties with WWE after her contract expired back in 2016. During the WWE Women’s Championship match at Crown Jewel against Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky, Sane ensured to help Sky. With Bayley present on the ringside, Kairi’s presence clearly made her insecure.
Many fans are under the impression that Iyo Sky is now out of the Damage CTRL after the return of Kairi Sane. With the cumulative efforts of Kairi and Iyo, the match had become one-sided for the defending champion. As a result, Belair was forced to give up and she suffered the loss at Crown Jewel.

With her return, the gates of the WWE are opened for the former NJPW star. What lies ahead for her is still under question. Yet her most probable storyline will be against Bianca Belair and Bayley. This might also sow the seeds of a Damage CTRL split and Bayley joining hands with Bianca Belair.
