According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Kairi Sane was cut open during the most recent RAW taping. This came during Sane’s match against Nia Jax. The match had to be briefly stopped in order for doctors to check on Sane.

Here is what Sapp wrote about what happened:
On day two of the WWE tapings, Fightful Select learned that an injury went down about an hour into the Raw portion of the tapings. In a match with Nia Jax and Kairi Sane, Kairi sustained a cut to her head outside of the ring.
The spot occurred outside near the stairs when Kairi was thrown and her head hit the corner of the stairs, opening her up. The match was paused and medical came out to take care of Kairi Sane, sealing the wound and bandaging her up. We were told that Kairi indicated that she was fine, and insisted on finishing up the match.
WWE would resume the match, which will have to be edited. Pretty quickly, Nia and Kairi Sane went to the finish.
UPDATE: Dave Meltzer provided an update on the incident on Wrestling Observer Radio. Here is what he said:
“Everyone right now when I say Nia Jax’s name is probably visualizing five or six different incidents…hurting people and all that. Everyone who I talked to has said that no one is blaming Nia Jax. This was not Nia Jax’s fault, even though other things have been.
Basically, Kairi Sane got whipped into the ring steps…One person told me she was in control of her bump and she made it look too good. She was trying to avoid hitting her head on the steps. Her head hit the steps, she was bloodied up, she was knocked silly. She’s ok. Now, ok doesn’t necessarily mean she doesn’t have a concussion. I don’t know if she does or she doesn’t…One person said they thought that she was knocked out.”
