There is no official statement of when Dakota Kai's injury happened, but she hasn't competed since July end. Kai was scheduled to face Sonya Deville on last week's Raw after challenging her the week before. However, due to a backstage attack by Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, and Zoey Stark, Kai was removed from the match. Her Damage CTRL teammate IYO SKY stepped in and won the match in her place.

Reports suggest that Dakota Kai will be sidelined for a significant period, potentially up to eight weeks, as she recovers from her injury. In the latest episode of Raw, Kai was absent, while Iyo Sky and Io Shirai faced off against Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark in a match for The Unholy Union's women's tag titles.
