IYO SKY Trains with Absent WWE Star Ahead of WrestleMania 41 Title Match

IYO SKY is putting in serious work as WrestleMania 41 approaches—and she’s doing it with some surprise help.

The Genius of the Sky is days away from defending her WWE Women’s World Championship in a triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, but she’s not prepping alone. SKY recently posted to Instagram showing off a training session in Brazilian jiu-jitsu with none other than Kairi Sane, who’s been off WWE television since suffering an injury in late 2024.

In her caption, SKY kept things short and focused: “All roads lead to #wrestlemania. @rudos_bjj #rudosbjj.”

Kairi Sane hasn’t wrestled since the December 2 episode of Monday Night RAW, where she and SKY teamed up in a losing effort against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Sane suffered an arm injury during that match and has been rehabbing ever since. Her return date is still unknown, but fans were quick to notice her appearance in the BJJ session and are now wondering if she could play a role at WrestleMania.

SKY, meanwhile, remains laser-focused on her title defense. With two powerhouse opponents in Belair and Ripley breathing down her neck, this could be the biggest match of her WWE career to date—and she’s clearly taking it seriously.
