Dakota Kai has been sidelined with an ACL injury since May. Kai has still been on TV since IYO SKY won the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam after cashing in her Money in the Bank contract. She was injured in the same match Liv Morgan was during a tag team bout on an episode of SmackDown.
While on her Twitch stream, Kai says she hopes to be back in the ring come January.
“Probably 2024. I do think it’s funny that a lot of people are like, ‘she’s not injured at all. Look at her walking around.’ ACL injury, I haven’t even learned how to start running and jumping again yet. I think I’m going to start running this week. ACL recovery, especially for someone in sport, we use our legs a lot. If I were a desk worker, I’d be back at work. Because it’s wrestling, I won’t be cleared until January,” she said.
Kai suffered an ACL injury earlier in her WWE career back in late 2018. This happened at an NXT live event.
The Damage CTRL member is a multi-time Women’s Tag Team Champion.
