WWE NXT Superstar Dakota Kai appeared to have suffered a knee injury at a WWE NXT Live Event on December 7th in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Kai was teaming up with Kairi Sane & Candice LeRae in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match against NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir. Kai apparently injured her knee while delivering kicks. Kai limped to the back with the help of trainers and the the bout was changed to a Tag Team Match.
Kai recently confirmed the injury in an Instagram post and noted that she will be “out for a bit.”
“I had always felt invincible,” Kai wrote (sic). “Working through minor injuries was something I never thought twice about because love what I get to do. ?I’m about to head into surgery, so let me give you an update. On December 7th in Green Bay during the last NXT Road Loop of 2018, I planted my foot awkwardly after a kick and I tore my ACL. I put off posting this because I wanted to focus on being home for the holidays and to be honest, I dreaded having to even mention this as I didn’t want to let any of you down. That, over everything, was and is the most heartbreaking feeling in the world.
“Unfortunately, this will take me out for a bit. I’m surrounded by amazing people, doctors, trainers and you. It helps more than I can explain, especially being so far away from my family. The amount of positivity & support I have received already has been so overwhelming. It’s going to be a tough ride, mentally and physically. I know that. The last thing I want is any sympathy…but hear me when I say this; Within my whole being, I know for sure I will be back stronger than ever. I will hit the ground, running. That’s a promise. ‘Above all, don’t fear the difficult moments. The best comes from them.'”
