Dakota Kai , a prominent WWE wrestler , is facing yet another setback in her career due to a meniscus tear in her right knee . This injury , which will require surgery , is expected to keep her out of action for an estimated 8 - 10 weeks . Unfortunately , Kai is no stranger to knee problems , having previously suffered a torn ACL in the same knee last year.
The injury to Dakota Kai is believed to have occurred recently , although the exact timing is unclear . Kai 's last match took place on July 27 at a WWE SuperShow event in Tokyo , Japan , where she emerged victorious alongside IYO SKY . However , she was set to face off against Sonya Deville on a recent episode of " WWE Raw " but was attacked backstage by a group known as The Pure Fusion Collective . As a result , Kai was forced to miss the match and was replaced by her ally SKY.
Michael Cole revealed the unfortunate news about Kai 's injury before a recent WWE Women 's Tag title match , attributing the meniscus tear to Sonya Deville 's attack . This injury comes as a significant blow to Kai , who has dealt with knee issues in the past , including a previous ACL tear that sidelined her for an extended period.
Kai 's injury adds to the list of setbacks faced by Damage CTRL , a group that has been plagued by knee problems in recent times . Asuka , another member of the faction , recently underwent knee surgery as well , further complicating their prospects in the WWE . Despite these challenges , the show must go on , with the Women 's Tag titles set to be defended in a Triple Threat match in the near future.
In the meantime , fans and fellow wrestlers are sending their best wishes to Dakota Kai for a speedy and complete recovery . The wrestling community is hopeful that she will be able to overcome this latest setback and return to the ring stronger than ever.
