Ex-NXT favourite Kairi Sane has traded Sky Pirates partner Io Shirai for Asuka on the main roster, and they're managed by Paige. All going well, this won't be Absolution 2.0, but something more meaningful for all involved. Sane certainly got off to a hot start on this week's SmackDown by picking up a debut win.

Over time, her pint-sized-yet-borderline-stunning talents will come to the fore. It's a smart move to give Sane a mouthpiece too. Now, she and Asuka can focus on doing what they do better than talking: kicking ass.
