Dakota Kai Faces ACL Surgery, Sidelines Her for Months
In the high-octane world of WWE, injuries are an unfortunate but all too common occurrence. This week, the wrestling community was hit with the news that Dakota Kai, one of the most beloved superstars, has suffered a torn ACL and is set to undergo surgery.
The same match that saw Dakota Kai sustain her injury also resulted in Liv Morgan hurting her shoulder. The extent of Morgan’s injury and her recovery timeline remain uncertain, especially as she has recently been cast in a movie role.
The news of Kai’s injury was confirmed by Dave Meltzer during Wrestling Observer Radio. He revealed that Kai’s surgery is likely to take place on Tuesday, and her recovery could sideline her for six to nine months.
“Dakota Kai, I believe is having surgery tomorrow for a torn ACL, so that’s probably six to nine months out, so best wishes to her,” Meltzer said.
This injury comes at a particularly challenging time for Kai, who is part of the Damage CTRL team on WWE television. With her absence, Bayley and IYO Sky will have to continue as a duo until Kai’s return.
Moreover, this injury could potentially disrupt any breakup storyline that WWE might have been planning over the past few months.
Despite the setback, fans are hopeful for Kai’s speedy recovery and return to the ring. Her absence will undoubtedly be felt, but the anticipation of her comeback, fully healed and ready to take on her opponents, is something to look forward to.
As we wish Dakota Kai a successful surgery and a swift recovery, we’ll continue to bring you updates from the pro wrestling world.
