WWE/UFC
WWE star Dakota Kai was spotted with a former UFC champion ahead of her return to the ring.
Amid speculation about her next match, Kai shared a photo of herself on Instagram at City Kickboxing gym in Auckland, New Zealand.
Kai’s post featured a photo of her with former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya.
The WWE star captioned the photo:
The crossover. 🤝🏽 🇳🇿

While Kai has appeared on WWE TV as part of the Damage CTRL storyline, she hasn’t wrestled since her and Bayley unsuccessfully challenged for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez’ WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship in May 2023.
Kai suffered an ACL tear during this match and has been recovering from surgery to fix the injury ever since.
She recently provided an update on her injury status, which you can read more about right here.
Israel Adesanya previously indicated that he’d be interested in making the transition to pro-wrestling in the future, with the latest update on Adesanya potentially wrestling for WWE emerging last year.
WWE and UFC both operate under the parent company TKO Group, which is owned by Endeavor.
