WWE CAREER CHRONICLE The Voyage of the Pirate Princess.
Kairi Sane enters the 2026 season as a cornerstone of the women’s tag team division on Monday Night RAW. Since her triumphant return to WWE, Sane has reclaimed her status as one of the world’s elite high-flyers. However, 2026 has presented significant challenges early on. Alongside Asuka in The Kabuki Warriors, she lost the Women’s Tag Team Championships on the January 5 season premiere of RAW.
Most recently, Kairi made her season PLE debut at the 2026 Royal Rumble. While she entered with her signature high-octane energy, she was eliminated after just 01:36. This early exit, combined with tag team setbacks against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, leaves the Pirate Princess looking for her first official victory of the year.

Despite a difficult January record, Sane’s ability to change a match’s tempo instantly makes her a constant threat to the championship picture.
