<p>Kairi Sane hasn&#8217;t been seen on WWE TV since suffering a head injury in her match against Nia Jax on Raw a few weeks ago. The former NXT Women&#8217;s Champion has reportedly been cleared to return following the injury, but a report by Dave Meltzer of <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="http://www.f4wonline.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Wrestling Observer</a> has revealed that the plan for Sane is to return to Japan with her husband.</p>

<p>The original plan to write Sane off WWE TV was for her to suffer a career-ending injury and then for Asuka to face that star for the Raw Women&#8217;s Championship. This idea has obviously been nixed and it&#8217;s unclear how Sane will now be written off TV. It is worth noting that Sane is scheduled to be part of the upcoming set of Raw tapings.</p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE Has a Backup Plan For SummerSlam Main Event</strong></h2>



<p>The reported plan for SummerSlam was to have Edge take on Randy Orton, but since the former 11-time World Champion has been sidelined through injury, Orton could be the company&#8217;s back-up plan.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;Orton vs. Edge was supposed to be the SummerSlam match with Brock Lesnar lined up for Drew McIntyre. Now that Edge is out of the picture, they have given Orton something to do while they work out what to do next. If they can&#8217;t get Brock Lesnar into the country, or if they just need someone for McIntyre, we may end up with McIntyre vs. Orton, but we need to kill a little bit of time on the way.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>CM Punk was last seen in a WWE ring back in 2014, but over the past six years, he has still remained one of the most popular stars in the business. Many fans believed that Punk would end up in All Elite Wrestling last year, but instead Punk debuted as one of the faces on WWE Backstage.</p>
