How Dakota Kai missed action for three months

A backstage attack on Kai by PFC in August had left her with a knee injury -- a torn meniscus -- forcing her to undergo surgery and miss the action for three months.
Was supposed to be out for a longer time
Following her surgery, it was reported that Kai, who had previously torn her ACL in the same knee last year, would be sidelined for a significant period. Initially, it was reported that Kai could return to in-ring action only in February 2025. However, last month, in a social media post, she had indicated that she could return sooner than expected.
With Kai's return to the ring, Damage CTRL is likely to resume their feud with PFC.
