Former WWE Champion is Close to Returning to the Ring

Kairi Sane has displayed significant progress in her recovery from an arm injury that removed her from WWE television on the December 16 episode of RAW. The development comes after she was initially slated to participate in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament.

During a recent training session at Korakuen Hall, Sane shared footage of herself performing various athletic maneuvers, including rope running and flips. The session took place before a match between Unagi Sayaka and Meiko Satomura.

@unapi0902Thank you for letting me use the ring for practice before the match! It was a great match against Meiko Satomura at a packed Korakuen Hall!! 😭.

Signs of Sane’s recovery were first noted during the Royal Rumble meet and greets, where she appeared without a sling and medical bracelet. Her return date to WWE programming remains unannounced.
