Dakota Kai admits to missing top WWE Superstar after returning on RAW; comments on Damage CTRL's current status
On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, Dakota Kai reunited with the rest of Damage CTRL. Reflecting on her return, Kai admitted to missing the absent member of the group, Asuka.
In July 2024, Damage CTRL began feuding with Pure Fusion Collective, turning face in the process. In August, Dakota Kai had to undergo knee surgery after suffering an injury. On the November 11 edition of RAW, Kai returned to team up with IYO SKY and Kairi Sane. The trio defeated Sonya Deville, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler in a six-woman tag team match.
Taking to Instagram, Kai mentioned that Damage CTRL was almost back to its full strength. She also sent a message to Asuka.
"Almost back to full strength… we miss you @wwe_asuka" wrote Kai

Dakota Kai revealed Damage CTRL's next goal after returning
Dakota Kai recently discussed Damage CTRL's future after the faction reunited on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.
On RAW Talk, Kai admitted it was difficult for her to stay sidelined but praised IYO SKY and Kairi Sane for their efforts amid her absence. The 36-year-old said the faction was eyeing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
"Gosh, it was so difficult watching from home, you guys held it down for sure. But we are here to show everyone Damage CTRL. We won our match tonight. Now, we have our eyes on gold, potentially those tag team titles."
Previously, Kai held the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Kairi Sane. Earlier this year, Sane also won the gold with Asuka before eventually dropping it to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
During Kai's absence from the company, SKY and Sane unsuccessfully challenged Belair and Cargill for the title. They even came close to winning the championship at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
