The WWE Universe has been waiting for the in-ring return of several WWE superstars, and Dakota Kai is one of them. Dakota has been out of action for quite some time now. However, it seems that she won’t be returning to in-ring action anytime soon.
Previously, Dakota Kai suffered an ACL injury, the injury was severe and required surgery. However, following the news of her surgery, fans have been waiting eagerly for her return to the ring, but, Kai recently stated that there’s still time before she makes her return to the ring. Now the WWE Universe seems upset with the news.
Dakota Kai recently spoke on her Twitch stream, where she said, “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.”

Dakota Kai added that she might begin her running training this week. Talking about ACL recovery, Dakota mentioned that since she is in the profession of wrestling, and has to use her legs a lot. If she was a desk worker, then she would be back at her work by now. However, she won’t be cleared until January of next year.
It is to be mentioned that since her injury, Kai appeared for the first time at SummerSlam 2023 to reunite with the rest of the Damage CTRL. It remains to be seen how WWE plans to incorporate her into the storyline while she makes her speedy recovery.
What is the current status of Damage CTRL?
Damage CTRL, consisting of Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai, is a professional wrestling stable within WWE. However, only Bayley and Sky are active since Dakota is recovering from her injury.
Previously, some tension was seen within the stable; however, that was short-lived. While Iyo went on to become Miss Money in the Bank 2023. At SummerSlam 2023, Bianca Belair defeated Asuka and Charlotte Flair to become WWE Women’s Champions. However, Sky and Bayley rushed in following the victory, and Sky cashed in her MITB contract.
Belair previously suffered an injury during the match, thus Iyo Sky defeated her within ten seconds to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. Following that, Dakota Kai joined them and the trio celebrated Sky’s win.
However, now it remains to be seen what awaits the Damage CTRL in the future. Fans will have to eagerly wait for the day when once again the entire stable will be inside the ring and in action.
