Kairi Sane Returns, Loses on WWE Raw

Kairi Sane made her official return to WWE on the May 19 episode of Monday Night RAW after nearly six months away due to injury, participating in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. Sane was defeated after Rhea Ripley pinned her, while Zoey Stark exited the match early with a knee injury. Sane's return comes during uncertainty for her former faction Damage CTRL, following Dakota Kai's recent release and Asuka's continued absence. WWE had built anticipation for Sane's comeback through social media teasers, also sparking rumors about Asuka's return. With the women's division in flux, Sane now faces the challenge of reestablishing herself as a top competitor. Her performance and future role in WWE remain closely watched by fans and analysts.
