Kai's most recent match took place on December 7 in Green Bay, a six-woman tag that pitted her, Candice LeRae, and Kairi Sane against Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir. It wasn't until mid-January that she officially revealed the nature of her injury, and subsequently underwent surgery.

Kai participated in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, after which she joined the NXT roster. She also competed in the tournament to crown NXT UK's first Women's champion, losing to Rhea Ripley in the semi-finals.
