Dakota Kai Comments On ACL Rehab, Meeting Jade Cargill At WWE Performance Center

Dakota Kai has been sidelined with a torn ACL since May, though she did make a surprise appearance at WWE SummerSlam to celebrate with IYO SKY after she won the WWE Women's Championship.

She said earlier in September that she wouldn't be cleared until January 2024.

Speaking on The Run Home, Kai was asked how her recovery has been going.

"If we're looking at an ACL, particularly my injury, it would be about eight to nine months. It happened end of May, so it will be January, maybe February. I'm feeling good. I'm ahead of schedule in terms of my recovery. It will still be a minimum of eight months. Looking to be early 2024," she said.

Kai has been at the WWE Performance Center during her rehab, and when asked about new signee Jade Cargill, Kai said she ran into her during her first day.

"I saw her today when I went to do rehab, said hello. I'm so happy that she is here. That is such a big move. It's cool. Talent is talent wherever you are. It's very cool to see that dream matches being created and with her coming over, it's very much a good thing," she said about Cargill's arrival to WWE.

Cargill officially signed with WWE on September 26 and began training at the Performance Center on the same day.
