This was the case on WWE Monday Night RAW a few weeks ago in the women’s division. On the red brand, a top conversation surrounding the women has been around the newly created title. That is none other than the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Some of the top and upcoming WWE superstars on the RAW roster competed in the tournament to crown the inaugural champion. However, one of the top contenders for the tournament was taken out before she could participate. Following the attack, the RAW superstar was hospitalized with injuries.
Which WWE superstar was hospitalized following the attack on RAW?
In a recent post on her Instagram, RAW superstar Kairi Sane dropped a photo from the hospital. The Pirate Princess’ arm was in a sling, and she was also wearing a medical bracelet. Her caption read, “I’ll get an arm of iron…😎🦾.” While the extent and nature of her injuries were not disclosed, it can be expected that Kairi Sane will be out of action for a while.
Kairi Sane was scheduled to compete in the tournament for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title on RAW a few weeks ago. She was set to battle Natalya and Alba Fyre in a triple-threat match. However, she was attacked backstage before the match. The assault was orchestrated by Pure Fusion Collective members. The trio of Sonya Deville, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler attacked Kairi to take her spot in the tournament.
Despite taking out Kairi Sane, Pure Fusion Collective did not earn a place in the tournament. Instead, it was Kairi’s Damage CTRL cohort, IYO Sky, who got the spot. Not only that, she also defeated Natalya and Alba Fyre to advance in the tournament.
With Kairi Sane’s latest update regarding her health, we will have to wait and see when the Pirate Princess will be cleared for in-ring action.
