Following his departure from WWE, he wrestled on the independents through 2006. He resumed wrestling in 2014 and worked as recently as last fall.
- Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai now have profiles on WWE.com as both competitors have been added to the NXT roster page.
Both LeRae and Kai were involved in angles on this week's episode of NXT. Shayna Baszler, who injured Kai's arm during her NXT in-ring debut in January, tried to bully Kai again during the New Zealand wrestler's match against Lacey Evans. Before "The Queen of Spades" could do any damage, NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon came to the rescue by cutting off her rival. As Baszler and Moon brawled, Kai reappeared with a kick to the jaw of Baszler.
Afterward, Kai tweeted the following.
