Kairi Sane's main roster journey mimicked that of Peyton Royce in a lot of ways. She is a former NXT Women's Champion but didn't manage to win a singles belt after leaving the Black and Gold brand. Sane teamed up with Asuka upon moving to SmackDown last year, and the duo was dubbed The Kabuki Warriors. The two remained together till the very end when Sane left WWE to move back to Japan. Kairi Sane and Asuka engaged in a rivalry with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in late 2019.
Kairi Sane suffered three defeats at the hands of Becky Lynch
In October 2019, Sane lost a RAW match to Becky Lynch via submission. In December, Sane battled Becky on RAW and lost this time around as well. Soon after, Sane and Asuka defended their Women's tag team titles against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at the TLC pay-per-view and scored a big win over the two. Becky Lynch and Kairi Sane's third and final encounter came on RAW in January 2020, with Lynch scoring her third-straight win over the Japanese wrestler. Kairi Sane left WWE soon after WrestleMania, while Becky Lynch went on hiatus due to her pregnancy.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
