Kairi Sane says she’s “even stronger than before” after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in her thumb.

Sane has been out of action since December and first addressed the injury in January, revealing only that she was dealing with an arm issue. Early Sunday morning, the Damage CTRL member shared more details on social media and thanked the doctor who performed her surgery.

Sane wrote:

“Three months ago, I tore a ligament in my thumb and couldn’t even open a bottle cap. Now, I’ve fully regained my grip strength—and I’m even stronger than before. I’m truly grateful from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Hirsch, who performed my surgery. He was such a kind and wonderful doctor. I wish I had taken a photo with him to remember that moment.”

Sane hasn’t wrestled since the December 2 edition of Raw, where she teamed with IYO SKY in a loss to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. She was later written off television through an angle involving an attack from Pure Fusion Collective.

Last week, PWInsider reported that Sane is nearing a return to the ring. Her Kabuki Warriors tag partner, Asuka, has also been out of action since undergoing knee surgery in June 2024. Asuka’s last match was at Backlash 2024, where she and Sane dropped the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
