Kairi Sane suffered a suspected concussion at TLC 2019 this weekend, during her brutal match alongside Asuka against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

The precise nature of Sane's injury has yet to be confirmed, but as per an update from Pro Wrestling Sheet, she is not currently cleared to wrestle following her pay-per-view blessure.

Sane could be seen staggering around Sunday's main event after apparently being knocked out in the first few moments of the match. At one point, Charlotte was forced to deadlift her for a planned table spot. Ultimately, the Kabuki Warriors prevailed in the contest, despite being effectively one woman down.

In a bid to assuage any major fears over her health, Sane posted a thumbs up emoji on Twitter on Monday. Both her opponents Becky Lynch and Charlotte responded, calling her a "bad ass woman" and "a warrior" respectively.

According to Dave Meltzer, writing for the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials are said to be unhappy with how the situation was handled. Neither Vince McMahon nor Triple H were in attendance at TLC to help direct the response to the possible injury.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
