NXT Women’s competitor Dakota Kai has been out of action with a knee injury since last December. If her Twitter post is to be believed, she is well on her way back. She posted a picture of Forrest Gump while announcing that she was able to start running again:

The news isn’t as good for former Women of Honor Champ Mayu Iwatani. Stardom revealed that she is suffering from a knee injury on their official Twitter page and that she is expected to miss time as a result:

Iwatani herself spoke on the injury as well. According to a Twitter translation, Iwatani stated that it is “too hard to walk” but was thankful for the opportunity to wrestle at Madison Square Garden:
4/14のドラフト以降欠場します。
歩くのもしんどいので。
怪我して以来痛くない日が無いので。
逆に今までよく頑張りました。
と自分を褒めてあげたい。
MSG出て、知ってもらえるいい機会だけど、こんな本調子じゃない姿見せたくないからキチンと休ませていただきます。
