Dakota Kai was part of the latest round of WWE releases, which took place on May 2nd.
This marks the second time Kai has been released by WWE. She was released in April 2022, but returned at WWE SummerSlam 2022 and formed Damage CTRL with Bayley & IYO SKY.
Kai was on WWE television in various segments alongside IYO, the reigning WWE Women's World Champion, but had not wrestled since the March 17th episode of WWE Raw. On April 29, she tweeted, and then deleted, that she missed wrestling and clarified that she was not hurt.
Kai posted the following message regarding her release:
Trying to get through all the messages and man, whether it's from friends, family, colleagues, coaches, you guys... I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. That's the stuff that matters. I got to make memories, create the best friendships and travel the world. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunities.
Gonna take a little time but just know... we are far from done. I've BEEN ready. Let's go.
