The history-making first-ever Women’s Tag Team TLC match at last month’s TLC 2019 PPV ended up being a botched main event from the women’s division. Vince McMahon was furious about this as it appeared to be a rough night for the women in charge of pulling off a successful matchup.
Plus, one-half of the women’s tag team champions, Kairi Sane picked up a concussion that has sidelined her from in-ring competition, once the PPV night was over.

With Royal Rumble coming up, the question remains whether the champion can make a comeback to in-ring competition within the PPV culmination. WWE has neither given any updates on the severity of the injury nor did any of the sources have been able to note on this. Kairi Sane as a performer is still uncertain to be available at Royal Rumble 2020, for now.

Meanwhile, Tom Colohue reported on Kairi Sane saying the champ is set to undergo an assessment before Royal Rumble 2020. If she’s ready to go in the ring then she might get inserted into the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Or else, she might have to stay back from competition as she is suffering from a concussion,
“The plan is still to give [Kairi Sane] an assessment before the Royal Rumble, to check if Kairi Sane can be involved in that match.
The opinion backstage is quite high. They find it very likely that she will appear at the Royal Rumble, probably get a nice pop.
If she doesn’t, not the worst thing in the world, because Asuka is already in the [RAW Women’s Title] match, so they don’t need the Tag Champions.”
WWE follows a strict protocol when it comes to concussion policies. It’s something that is different from ordinary injuries that can be healed via treatment. In the case of concussions, there are chances of getting permanent damages which is why the company won’t be in a hurry to bring back Kairi Sane to the competition.
On a related note, Kairi Sane won’t be much needed in Royal Rumble since her partner Asuka is booked in a singles contest on that night. She will challenge Becky Lynch for the Raw women’s title. So Sane can take the night off if the creative team does not need her.
