Dakota Kai was released back in May 2022 but came back during SummerSlam that year, where she returned as part of Damage CTRL alongside Bayley and Iyo Sky. While she won championship gold afterwards, things just didn’t go well for Kai. Kai also suffered an unfortunate ACL injury recently and it appears that she is finally out of her leg brace.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez squared off against Dakota Kai and Bayley as they defended their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. While Morgan and Rodriguez retained their titles, Morgan did not leave unscathed.
After all, Liv Morgan hurt her shoulder during the match. That’s not all as Dakota Kai ended up suffering a major ACL injury after performing a move from the top rope, in a bid to ensure Morgan didn’t get hurt.
Dakota Kai would then undergo surgery for her ACL injury. Dakota Kai took to Twitter and revealed that she is no longer wearing her leg brace and can once again roam around in sweatpants with holes in the knees.
“I’m outta my brace and back wearing sweatpants with holes in the knees.”
Dakota Kai will be out of action anywhere between six to nine months after her surgery. In all likelihood, fans might not even get to see Dakota Kai until next year. Regardless, we wish Dakota Kai a speedy recovery and hope she returns as soon as possible.
