Dakota Kai didn’t waste any time turning heads after her WWE exit.

Just hours after news broke that she was released from her WWE contract, Fightful Select reported that “outside companies and top agents in pro wrestling” are already reaching out to Kai with serious interest. Despite her being sidelined by WWE’s mandatory 90-day non-compete clause, it’s clear promoters are lining up early to bring her in the moment she’s legally allowed to.

Kai’s departure comes right after the implosion of Damage CTRL on WWE SmackDown, which left her without a clear direction on TV. That creative limbo has now turned into free agency—but not without some restrictions. Sources confirmed Kai will not be able to appear in any televised promotion until her 90-day window expires.

Still, her reputation speaks for itself. From her breakout work in STARDOM to becoming a cornerstone of WWE NXT and eventually climbing the ranks to the main roster, Kai built a loyal fanbase and delivered consistently in the ring. Whether as a fan-favorite underdog or a sneaky heel, she knew how to get a reaction—and now she’s got the wrestling world watching her next move.
