Dakota Kai Needed 8 Staples After Scary Bump on NXT

Dakota Kai needed eight staples for a laceration after hitting her head during a table spot last night on NXT.

Kai defeated Mia Yim on the show, but Yim attacked her after the match and eventually brought her to the stage area, where Yim back dropped Kai off of an elevated platform onto two tables below. They only connected with one of the tables though, and Kai’s head smashed on the edge of the second table.
