Kairi Sane returns to WWE Raw, IYO SKY sends a sweet message
IYO SKY and Kairi Sane (Image via WWE) Kairi Sane is back in WWE after a long break due to injury. She returned on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw and took part in a Triple Threat match to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. It was her first match since December 2023, and even though she didn't win, fans were excited to see her back. In the match, Kairi faced Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark. Unfortunately, Stark got injured during the match after a bad landing from a dropkick. Because of that, she had to leave, and the match had to change in the moment. Kairi had to quickly adjust and finish the match with Ripley. In the end, Rhea Ripley pinned Kairi to win. IYO SKY shares sweet message after Kairi Sane's return After the show, former tag team partner IYO SKY posted a warm message on social media to welcome Kairi Sane back. The two used to be part of the group Damage CTRL and have a long history together, going back to their wrestling days in Japan. IYO SKY wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Welcome back!!! @KAIRI_official 🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨' This simple but touching message made fans smile. Many people still remember how strong their team was and how much respect they had for each other. Even though Damage CTRL has not been seen on WWE TV lately and Dakota Kai has been released, the friendship between IYO and Kairi is clearly still strong. Their bond was built during their early wrestling careers in STARDOM, a Japanese women's wrestling company. Later, they became a team in WWE and were seen as one of the most exciting duos in the women's division. Now, fans are wondering what's next. Could WWE reunite IYO and Kairi as a team? Or could they be set for a future match against each other? Either way, the support from IYO made it clear that Kairi is still respected by top talent in WWE. Kairi Sane's future looks bright While this return match did not end in victory, Kairi looked strong and focused in the ring. She showed she was ready to compete again. Her ability to adjust during an unexpected situation showed how skilled and professional she is. It was a strong reminder of what Kairi Sane brings to WWE. She is experienced, skilled, and has a powerful presence in the ring. Her return also adds more depth to WWE's women's division, which continues to grow stronger.

Ashi Singh binge-watches courtroom dramas to prep for her role as a lawyer in ‘Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil'
Actress Ashi Singh is stepping into the new territory with her role as Kairi in Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil . The show pairs her opposite Shabir Ahluwalia, who plays Yug — and sparks are set to fly when their characters collide. Kairi, a spirited final-year law student juggling academics, part-time work, and family responsibilities, dreams of becoming a successful lawyer. And for Ashi, bringing this determined and emotionally layered character to life demanded more than just memorizing legal jargon. To ensure an authentic portrayal, Ashi immersed herself in legal dramas across genres and cultures. 'I started with Suits and then went deep into Law & Order for the real procedural stuff. But the most unexpected source of inspiration was the K-drama Vincenzo. It's not a typical courtroom drama, but the back-and-forth between the leads, who are both lawyers, really helped me understand how to balance a lawyer's confidence with emotional vulnerability,' she revealed.

Known for her powerful performances, Ashi has always been drawn to strong, multidimensional roles. But Kairi, she says, stands apart. 'I've always enjoyed playing strong characters, but Kairi feels different — she's got fire, she's sharp, and she leads with her heart. I knew I couldn't just play her with surface-level confidence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo I ended up giving myself a crash course in courtroom rhythm by binge-watching legal dramas. I'd tell myself 'just one episode,' and suddenly it's 2 AM and I'm deep into a binge! But it really helped me go beyond the legal jargon — it showed me how layered, flawed, and real a character like Kairi can be. I'm genuinely excited for the audience to meet her and see the little quirks and shades I've added to make her my own,' she laughed. 'The moment I read about Kairi, I knew she was someone I wanted to bring to life,' Ashi added.

Ashi Singh on playing an aspiring lawyer Kairi Sharma in ‘Uff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil'; says ‘I always look for roles that push me to grow'
Popular television actor Ashi Singh is all set to make a powerful return to the small screen with the upcoming show Uff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil. Blending humor, romance, and heartfelt family dynamics, the show promises to strike a chord with viewers. Ashi will be seen portraying Kairi Sharma , a spirited and determined young woman aiming to become a lawyer. Raised in a middle-class Delhi household, Kairi is not just academically ambitious but also deeply rooted in her family values. Having shouldered the responsibility of raising her three younger siblings from a young age, she embodies resilience, compassion, and strength. Ashi will star opposite Shabir Ahluwalia , who plays Yug — a role that marks a fresh change from his traditional 'adarsh' characters. Speaking about her role in Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, Ashi Singh said, 'The moment I read about Kairi, I knew she was someone I wanted to bring to life. Kairi is someone who is managing the chaos of raising her family, working part-time, and excelling in her studies. She is in final year law and is determined to become a lawyer. She believes in doing what's right and never backs down from standing up for herself or others, especially when unsolicited opinions come her way, this is something I find very inspiring. What also excites me is the quirky, offbeat love story at the heart of the show. As an actor, I always look for roles that push me to grow, and Kairi is definitely doing that for me.' Ashi Singh, who previously impressed audiences with shows like Yeh Unn Dinon Ki Baat Hai, Aladdin: Naam Toh Suna Hoga, and Meet , took a brief break from television after her last project. During her time off, she achieved a personal milestone by purchasing a home in Mumbai.
