3 reasons Kairi Sane should betray Asuka before the end of the year

Kairi Sane and Asuka are in their third reign as the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. The duo is currently one of the top heels on Monday Night RAW in the women's division.

However, there will be a point when they will have to drop their gold. And that's when the equation between them can change. Either of them will have to turn against the other. It would be better if Kairi Sane walks out and turns on the Empress of Tomorrow. And it would be much better if it happens by the end of this year.

In this listicle, we will discuss three reasons why Kairi Sane should turn on her tag team partner before the new year.

#3 To set up their bout for WWE WrestleMania 42

Two partners separating and eventually colliding at WrestleMania is a typical WWE story that sells well. The same would apply to Asuka and Kairi Sane. They form one of the best tag team units on Monday Night RAW, and a betrayal from Kairi Sane will resonate well with the fans.

The former women's champion has been manipulating and controlling Kairi Sane for a long time. She has also been trying to assert herself as the superior mate. In fact, at one point, it never appeared that they would win the WWE Women's Tag Team titles, either. However, they did. That might have been done to elevate their story as tag team partners. However, a betrayal might be on the cards soon.

They might separate by the end of this year, by dropping their titles. Kairi Sane can disappear for some time after being snubbed by Asuka, and then return next year, before Mania, and start a feud with her mate. They can then clash at WrestleMania 42.

#2 To elevate Kairi Sane as a babyface

Kairi Sane also needs to betray her friend because that would elevate her as a prominent babyface in WWE. Turning on Asuka at this juncture means that Kairi is more focused on her self-respect. She is standing for herself and no longer wants to take sermons from her friend.

This turn could give Kairi Sane a new direction on RAW. She will be at the level of superstars like Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. If the fans back her, Kairi Sane could also be booked for the WWE Women's World Championship match.

#1 To elevate Asuka as a bigger heel

Asuka has been fine as a heel. She draws significant heat from the fans, which every heel should. However, a betrayal from Kairi Sane could further incense the Empress of Tomorrow. She will be more bitter after this snubbing from one of her closest allies in WWE. After the betrayal, Asuka could adopt more sinister ways to teach Kairi Sane a lesson for betraying her.

So, how does a betrayal come? What happens between the two that infuriates Kairi Sane, and she subsequently turns on hr mate. It could happen when Asuka tries too hard to manipulate Kairi Sane. And if there's a title defense match by the end of the year between the Kabuki Warriors and IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, Kairi would walk out of the match, leaving the Empress of Tomorrow to fend for herself.

That would be the breaking point of the relationship between the two. It now remains to be seen how long the creative team wants to have the two together in the promotion.
