Kairi Sane returns to WWE Raw, IYO SKY sends a sweet message
Kairi Sane is back in
WWE
after a long break due to injury. She returned on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw and took part in a Triple Threat match to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
It was her first match since December 2023, and even though she didn't win, fans were excited to see her back.
In the match, Kairi faced Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark. Unfortunately, Stark got injured during the match after a bad landing from a dropkick. Because of that, she had to leave, and the match had to change in the moment. Kairi had to quickly adjust and finish the match with Ripley. In the end, Rhea Ripley pinned Kairi to win.

back. The two used to be part of the group Damage CTRL and have a long history together, going back to their wrestling days in Japan.
IYO SKY wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
'Welcome back!!! @KAIRI_official 🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨'
This simple but touching message made fans smile. Many people still remember how strong their team was and how much respect they had for each other. Even though Damage CTRL has not been seen on WWE TV lately and Dakota

has been released, the friendship between IYO and Kairi is clearly still strong.
Their bond was built during their early wrestling careers in STARDOM, a Japanese women's wrestling company. Later, they became a team in WWE and were seen as one of the most exciting duos in the women's division.
Now, fans are wondering what's next. Could WWE reunite IYO and Kairi as a team? Or could they be set for a future match against each other? Either way, the support from IYO made it clear that Kairi is still respected by top talent in WWE.
Kairi Sane's future looks bright
While this return match did not end in victory, Kairi looked strong and focused in the ring. She showed she was ready to compete again. Her ability to adjust during an unexpected situation showed how skilled and professional she is. It was a strong reminder of what Kairi Sane brings to WWE. She is experienced, skilled, and has a powerful presence in the ring. Her return also adds more depth to WWE's women's division, which continues to grow stronger.

However, he stood firm on his stance on not wanting to have kids. Sometime later, after their engagement, the duo were seen discussing the issue on an episode of Total Bellas and decided to part ways.

Blake Monroe, NXT's Bombshell Signing: Net Worth, Dating History, Lavish Lifestyle and More
Blake Monroe Net Worth in 2025, Dating Life and More (Image via WWE) Blake Monroe is perhaps the best women's wrestler signing for the WWE in a long time. 'The Glamour' has certainly earned her jewels inside the ring in AEW, where she famously feuded with Tony Storm and also became the AEW Women's World Champion. Moreover, she made her WWE debut on the June 3rd segment of NXT and is now set to make her televised in-ring debut in a tag team match, partnering up with Jordynne Grace to take on NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley. But what about Monroe's personal life? Fans are pretty invested and would love to know about her net worth, relationship status, and much more. Blake Monroe's Personal Life, Net Worth in 2025 and Dating Rumors Monroe was born on August 4, 1998, in London, England. The erstwhile Mariah May made a name for herself wrestling across the UK and Japan, especially in STARDOM, where she became a fan favourite thanks to her infectious personality and steadily improving in-ring skills. Now going by the name, Blake Monroe in NXT, which is inspired by 'The Golden Age of Hollywood,' Monroe brings a magnetic screen presence that screams future star. As reported by BritWrestling, Monroe's net worth in 2025 ranges between $300,000 and $500,000, which is a healthy sum considering the former AEW Women's title holder is only 26 years old. According to The Sportster, Blake Monroe was previously linked to fellow professional wrestler Danny Duggan, though the relationship has been kept extremely private. Their last known appearance together was in a YouTube video on her channel over a year ago, and since then, there's been little to no sign of them as a couple on social media, leaving fans unsure if they are still together. During her AEW days, she was even linked with fellow star Nick Wayne. However, Monroe shut down those rumors by saying, ' She's more into attractive women who are older than her.' Coming to Monroe's love for professional wrestling, it is interesting to note that she was a fan from her childhood. Speaking with Close Up Culture, she revealed, 'Growing up with two brothers, I was a huge WWE fan, and that passion stays with me today. Throughout school, I participated in theatre and track and field, so wrestling is really a combination of the two. After finishing school, I got a job to help fund my training and started taking wrestling classes – and here we are today!' Coming to her lifestyle, Monroe was not born into wealth. In fact, before becoming a professional wrestler, she worked as a ring announcer. Her gig for Hustle Wrestling from 2018 is well documented on the internet. Apart from that, she even had a WWE tryout way back in 2019 and spent 3 days at the WWE Performance Center, but was ultimately rejected by the company.
