Kai was released by WWE during a set of NXT roster cuts on April 29. She was a two-time Women's Tag Team Champion while in NXT.

Prior to her release, Kai worked several main roster dark matches over the past year but was never called up.

Kai went by the in-ring name "Evie" before joining WWE in 2017. In a statement posted after her release, Kai indicated that she wouldn't be going back to using that name.

“I don’t know what’s next for me,” Kai wrote. "I chose ‘Evie’ at 17 years old. That chapter is shut...just know this; I am far from being done."

WWE would definitely say that’s too close.

I’m sure the name will grow on me, but she looks fire.

Yeah, Crowley is a cool surname and her first name has iteration with it being a dual C name.
