This past Saturday at Crown Jewel, Kairi Sane made her emphatic return to WWE. In the penultimate moments of Iyo Sky‘s title defense against Bianca Belair, The EST was about to pip Sky and regain the Women’s Championship. Even Bayley wasn’t enough to hold back Belair as the latter ran through her distractions. However, what derailed Bianca’s momentum was a sneak attack from Kairi Sane, who softened her up.

Back in the ring, Iyo delivered a picturesque moonsault to get the job done and retain her title. Iyo reunited with Sane as both hugged it out in the ring, with Bayley gazing at them with utter disbelief. WWE has now placed the returning superstar on SmackDown. Kairi’s WWE profile has re-emerged on the roster page. It’s clear as daylight that the Pirate Princess will continue her camaraderie with Iyo Sky going forward on Friday nights.

Not only that, WWE is trying to add another member to the budding stable of Iyo and Sane. As reported by Fightful Select, the Stamford-based promotion is looking to bring back former NXT Superstar Sarray. The Japanese wrestler was granted her WWE release earlier this year, and she returned to her homeland. However, within months of her departure, it seems like Triple H wants her back.

It’s heavily rumored that Sarray might end up joining her former allies Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky in WWE. It’s a ruckus at the moment, and the road to Survivor Series is shaping up nicely. With WarGames made official, women’s participation is almost certain. The SmackDown’s side of things is where the money should be as their women’s division is heating up. The recent addition of Kairi Sane is only going to add to the cause.

SmackDown’s landscape has shaken up following Kairi Sane’s WWE return

After leaving Bayley for Kairi Sane at Crown Jewel, Iyo Sky might have something up her sleeves. The Role Model seems to have lost control over The Genius of the Sky.

As a result, the former tried to connect to the last link of The Damage CTRL, Dakota Kai. Things are looking bleak at the moment for Bayley. This week’s SmackDown is going to be a must-see show.

The fate of Iyo’s alliance with Bayley is up in the air. It’s worth mentioning that Bayley was the one who viciously attacked Kairi Sane in her last WWE appearance back in 2020. With Sane returning, Iyo may let loose all the frustration she has had with The Role Model in the past.
