The injury was initially sustained on June 6, 2020, during a fight with Nia Jax, where she took a direct hit into the steel steps, which caused a deep cut at the top of her forehead.
The severe bleeding led to the pausing of the match. Kairi took to social media to reveal the seriousness of the injury. She made her return on July 6 on a RAW episode challenging Sasha Banks. In her latest episode, she was viciously attacked by Baykay backstage, and the following day, she announced that she would be leaving WWE to spend more time with her husband.
