Injured WWE Star Won’t Be Cleared Until January 2024?

WWE

An injured WWE star says she won’t be cleared until January 2024.

At WWE SummerSlam, IYO SKY cashed in the Money In The Bank contract to defeat Bianca Belair to win the WWE Women’s Championship.

After her win, SKY was greeted by her fellow Damage CTRL members Bayley and the returning Dakota Kai. Dakota had been sidelined with a torn ACL since May before her return. Kai has regularly been featured on WWE TV since despite her injury alongside Damage CTRL.

Speaking on her latest Twitch stream, Kai was asked if she would be wrestling again. She answered:

“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.’ ACL injury, I haven’t even learned how to start running and jumping again yet. I think I’m going to start running this week.”

“ACL recovery, especially for someone in sport, we use our legs a lot. If I were a desk worker, I’d be back at work. Because it’s wrestling, I won’t be cleared until January.”

Dakota Kai hasn’t wrestled since the May 12 episode of SmackDown when she and Bayley suffered a loss to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
