Kairi Sane returned to WWE programming after a six-month absence due to injury on the May 19 edition of Monday Night RAW to wrestle Zoey Stark and Rhea Ripley in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Triple-Threat Match. Unfortunately, halfway through the bout, the former Pure Fusion Collective member landed awkwardly on her knee while attempting a missile dropkick on Kairi. Stark reportedly suffered tears to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus and had to undergo surgery.

The contest had to be stopped midway as the Judgment Day member suffered a dislocated shoulder after an awkward landing while receiving a single-leg takedown by Sane. Morgan, too, had to go under the knife and is allegedly set to be out of action for a number of months.

WWE Superstar Kairi Sane shared an emotional message addressing the recent injuries

Kairi Sane took to her X/Twitter account after the June 16 edition of WWE RAW to break her silence on the unfortunate injuries.

The former NXT Women's Champion shared an emotional message. She noted that it is always painful to witness a match end due to injury. Sane mentioned that the recent injuries were heartbreaking and hoped for a full and speedy recovery for Liv Morgan and Zoey Stark.

"One of the most painful things for me is when a match is decided not by wrestling, but because of an injury. I always step into the ring with deep respect for my opponent, and I train hard every day to give the audience something they can truly enjoy. Even if it was never intentional, knowing that someone was hurt in a match with me is something I carry deeply. It breaks my heart. I hope with all my heart for a full and speedy recovery. I will continue to give my all, hoping to bring excitement—not pain—to the ring," she wrote.
