Kairi Sane Returns To In-Ring Action (Photos, Video)
Kairi Sane, now going by the name KAIRI in her home Stardom promotion, returned to action at the World Climax Show earlier today. As seen in the clips below, Kairi brought her team to victory with her patented diving elbow drop.
The former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion announced during a press conference back in February that she would be returning to the promotion.
KAIRI spent more than 6 years with Stardom before being signed by WWE in 2017. She won the 2017 Mae Young Classic, the WWE NXT Women's Title, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles before returning to Japan in July 2021 to be with her husband. She continued to work in Japan as a WWE Ambassador until her contract just recently expired.
