WWE Star Kairi Sane Reveals She Has Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease on Twitter
November 27, 2018
WWE Superstar Kairi Sane announced on social media early Tuesday that she has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease.
"Although high fever went down, mysterious eczema in hands, feet and mouth this time ... Ouch," she wrote in Japanese on Twitter (translation via TMZ Sports).
Sane signed with WWE in March 2017 after a decorated six-year career with World Wonder Ring Stardom in Japan.
The Pirate Princess won the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament last year with a victory over Shayna Baszler in the championship match.
Sane, who has competed mostly within the NXT brand since signing with WWE, won the NXT Women's Championship by beating Baszler at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 in August. She lost the title back to Baszler at the all-female Evolution pay-per-view on October 28.
Her only appearance on the WWE main roster so far came at the 2018 Royal Rumble in the first women's Royal Rumble match, which was won by NXT alum Asuka.
It's unclear whether Sane will miss any time with the illness.
