Kairi Sane could anger and disappoint Asuka yet another time.

The Empress of Tomorrow has been making enemies left, right, and center since her return to the company. This is dwindling their pool of wrestlers on the roster with whom the Kabuki Warriors can have an amicable relationship. Amidst all this, Sane has now been seen with one of Asuka’s enemies on this week’s WWE RAW episode.

Kairi Sane Caught on Camera With Former Women’s World Champion

A video clip being circulated on social media saw Kairi Sane exiting Madison Square Garden, which was this week’s red-branded show’s venue. Interestingly, she was seen with her former Damage CTRL ally, IYO SKY. On top of it, when Sane spotted that a WWE fan was recording her with The Genius of the SKY, she happily waved at the fan.

Asuka is most likely not going to stand this interaction, especially when the Kabuki Warriors are still against IYO SKY. The duo had interfered in her match against Raquel Rodriguez this week, and in taking The Empress of Tomorrow out with a dive, SKY had a bad landing on her back.

While she attacked Asuka, SKY checked up on Kairi Sane before moving back in the ring. But Raquel Rodriguez used this window to line her up for a Tejana Bomb to win the match. Thus, while the Kabuki Warriors succeeded in causing the former Women’s World Champion to lose her match, Sane and SKY also shared a brief bonding moment.

While Sane was seen in a happy mood with The Genius of the SKY, she stays scared and paranoid when she is around Asuka, who always screams at her and manipulates her. The three Japanese wrestlers were together, but The Empress of Tomorrow turned on SKY when she got close to Rhea Ripley.

The duo teamed up to form RHIYO and dethroned the Kabuki Warriors to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions before dropping the belts to The Irresistible Forces and parting ways. However, Asuka and Kairi Sane are not done with SKY. It would be interesting to see if Sane’s actions will have consequences on next week’s WWE RAW episode.
