IYO SKY sends heartfelt message to returning WWE star

IYO SKY sent a heartfelt message to a returning WWE star today on social media. The 35-year-old is the reigning Women's World Champion on WWE RAW.

Kairi Sane was absent from WWE television for several months due to an attack by Pure Fusion Collective in December 2024. The Pirate Princess returned to action this past Monday night but came up short in her Money in the Bank qualifying match.

The Women's World Champion took to social media to send a heartfelt message to Sane following her return to the company. She also shared a couple of photos with her Damage CTRL stablemate, and you can check them out in the post below.

"Welcome back!!! @KAIRI_official 🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨," she wrote.

Rhea Ripley defeated Kairi Sane and Zoey Stark in a Triple Threat bout on RAW to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match at the PLE on June 7. Zoey Stark suffered a gruesome knee injury on RAW and was unable to finish the match.
