KAIRI, formerly known as Kairi Sane in WWE, returned to action for the first time since she left WWE, but she walked away fairly banged up.
KAIRI faced Starlight Kid at STARDOM World Climax: The Top on March 27, and during the post-match press conference, the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion stated that she suffered a ruptured eardrum. Though noted that she couldn’t hear, KAIRI stated that the pain made her happy.

It’s currently unclear how long KAIRI will be sidelined with the injury. She was not announced for STARDOM’s next string of live events, the Cinderella Tournament, which begins on April 10.
Sane’s WWE exit was reported earlier this year, and she subsequently returned to STARDOM.
