After hitting a painful-looking elbow drop to Lyra Valkyria, a jubilant Sane can pose for the crowd and laugh as she counts down from 10 with them. Then, her smile would turn to concern as the familiar cry of, "This is my brutality" blared over the PA and a fired up Rhea Ripley made her way out to romp, stomp and carve her path through the rest of the Rumble lineup.

She'd start with Kairi.

Yep, running into Rhea would be the end of the road for Sane in this year's Rumble. Sorry, but some workers are just collateral in these things - they're hanging around kicking or punching, and might get a spot to cheer about, but they're hardly a priority. Kairi fits into that camp, so she'll be a sacrificial lamb for Ripley.
