On the latest episode of Raw, Sane and her Damage CTRL partner, Iyo Sky, faced Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre in a match for the No. 1 contendership for the women’s tag titles. The Unholy Union had recently lost their titles to Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair at the Bash in Berlin PLE. During the match, Sane attempted a suicide dive but accidentally collided with the announcer, resulting in a cut around her eye.
