Being out of action after falling victim to a grave injury is a common nightmare for all WWE superstars. The latest sufferer of this is Damage CTRL’s, Dakota Kai. She got severely hurt during her Women’s Tag Team Title match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the May 12 edition of Friday Night SmackDown. Medical personnel diagnosed Kai with a torn ACL and she will be out during the unstipulated period.

The 35-year-old, therefore, underwent successful right knee surgery last month. It has been reported that she cannot resume action for at least 9 months. However, it seems like she is on the right path toward recovery and could make her return pretty sooner than expected.

However, the SmackDown talent made her return to WWE shortly during SummerSlam 2022. While her recent injury again caused a hitch in her in-ring mission, there’s some good news coming from the star that might ease the tension a bit.

While the strong bond inside the Damage CTRL is pretty visible, the groups have come up short several times in the recent past. Also, it’s not sure for how long they will remain united as a team. There have been rumors regarding a potential split within the faction since WrestleMania 39. However, given Dakota Kai’s serious injury, the plan is up in the air now.

We hope Damage CTRL will soar high after Dakota Kai’s return, nevertheless.
