Professional wrestling career

New Zealand and Australian independent promotions (2007–2016)

Crowley made her professional wrestling debut on 15 December 2007 for Auckland based company Impact Pro Wrestling under the ring name Evie,[5] a reference to her favourite Pokémon, Eevee.[4]

In September 2011, she debuted in Sydney, Australia-based Pro Wrestling Alliance Australia (PWA Australia) for their annual PWWA show, where she defeated Kellie Skater. In August 2012, Evie became the first Impact Pro Wrestling NZ Women's Champion, defeating Britenay and Megan Fox in a triple threat match. A week later, she won the Interim PWWA Championship by defeating Jessie McKay in the finals.

After Impact Pro Wrestling returned after a few months from folding in mid-2013,[6] all the previous title holders were stripped of their championships. Evie won the IPW Women's Championship back in December 2013 and aligned herself with a new heel faction called 'The Investment'.[5]

Evie began 2014 in Japan, working on a three-month contract awarded to her through Pro Wrestling Zero1, and becoming the first female to receive such a contract.

American independent promotions (2013–2016)

Evie wrestling for Shimmer Women Athletes in April 2013

Evie made her debut for the all-female American promotion Shimmer Women Athletes at Volume 53 on 6 April 2013, participating in a five-way match which she lost to Christina Von Eerie and also included Yuu Yamagata, Kalamity, and Rhia O'Reilly. At Volume 54, Evie defeated Kimber Lee to pick up her first win for the promotion, but she was defeated by Mia Yim the next day at Volume 56. She competed in a losing effort against Hikaru Shida at Shimmer Volume 62 in April 2014. At Volumes 63 and 64, Evie defeated Rhia O'Reilly and Nicole Matthews, respectively.

On 19 April 2013, Evie made her debut for Shine Wrestling at Shine 9, in a losing effort against Mercedes Martinez.[7] At the Shine 18 iPPV on 20 April 2014, Evie and Skater lost to defending champions the Lucha Sisters (Leva Bates and Mia Yim) for the Shine Tag Team Championship.[8]

World Wonder Ring Stardom (2015–2016)

On 6 December 2015, Evie made her debut for the Japanese

Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo, and Mayu Iwatani in their third defense on 28 February 2016.[10]

WWE

Early appearances (2015–2017)

Crowley appeared on the 14 October 2015 episode of

Polynesian language, indicating her journey to get to WWE, and contrary to popular belief, is not a reference to Leilani Kai.[4] Kai entered the tournament on 13 July, defeating Kavita Devi in the first round[14] and Rhea Ripley in the second round, before being eliminated in the quarterfinals by Kairi Sane.[15]

Beginnings in NXT (2017–2020)

Nikki Cross
at the WrestleMania Axxess tournament in early 2018

On 25 October 2017 episode of

WrestleMania Axxess tournament which she won, earning herself a match for the NXT Women's Championship, but was defeated by newly crowned champion Shayna Baszler.[20] In May, Kai earned another shot at the title but was unsuccessful in winning it.[21][22] Throughout the rest of the year, Kai racked up victories and losses against competitors like Santana Garrett,[23] Bianca Belair,[24] Lacey Evans[25] and Aliyah.[26]

In parallel to her activities in NXT, Kai also appeared in the newly created

tag team dubbed "Team Kick".[37][38] On 30 October episode of NXT, Team Kick unsuccessfully challenged The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.[39][40]
In November, Kai made her main roster debut as part of the NXT talent that were placed in an invasion angle with Raw and SmackDown as part of the Survivor Series pay-per-view.[41][42] Mia Yim was chosen over Kai as part of Rhea Ripley's team for the first-ever women's WarGames match against Shayna Baszler's team.[43][40][44][45] On 23 November at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, just before the match took place, Kai replaced Yim, who was attacked backstage. However, before she entered the ring, Kai attacked her tag team partner, Tegan Nox, turning heel for the first time in her career.[46][47] Upon her return in December, Mia Yim revealed that Kai attacked Yim backstage and this led to a grudge match between the two, which Kai won.[48][49][50] On 26 January 2020, at Royal Rumble, Kai entered her first Royal Rumble match at #15, but was eliminated by Chelsea Green.[51] On 29 January episode of NXT, Kai lost to Nox after she used a knee brace following a distraction from Candice LeRae.[52]

Storyline with Raquel González (2020–2022)

Kai defeated Nox twice: first at

WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, a match that would end in controversy on 3 March episode of NXT, after Kai was submitted by Baszler despite not being the legal competitor in the match.[60] The following week, they were awarded the newly created NXT Women's Tag Team Championship by General Manager William Regal, marking Kai's first championship in the WWE. However, the two lost the titles to Blackheart and Moon that night.[61]

After González won the

Persia Pirotta in the first round,[67] González and Jade in the semifinals on 8 March 2022 at Roadblock,[68] but lost to Shirai and Kay Lee Ray in the finals.[69]

On 29 March episode of NXT, after Toxic Attraction took out Wendy Choo, Kai attacked the group and was assisted by a returning Raquel González, whom Kai embraced afterwards, turning face for the first time since 2019.[70] It was then announced that Kai and González would face Toxic Attraction members Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship during the pre-show of NXT Stand & Deliver on 2 April,[71] in which they were successful in winning the titles.[72] Their first title defense was scheduled for the following episode of NXT,[73] losing the titles back to Toxic Attraction due to Mandy Rose’s interference.[74] The following week, Kai unsuccessfully challenged Rose for the NXT Women's Championship in what would be her final appearance in NXT.[75]

On 29 April 2022, Kai was released from her WWE contract.[76] She had reportedly expressed to the company that she was not planning on renewing her contract prior to her release.[77]

Damage CTRL (2022–present)

On July 30, 2022, Kai re-signed with WWE and returned at

Survivor Series WarGames on November 26, where Damage CTRL, Rhea Ripley, and Nikki Cross lost to Belair, Asuka, Bliss, Mia Yim, and Becky Lynch in a WarGames match.[88] Kai then entered the women's Royal Rumble match at the titular event on January 28, 2023. She eliminated five wrestlers before being eliminated by Becky Lynch.[89]
On the February 27 episode of Raw, following interference from Trish Stratus, Kai and Sky lost the titles to Lynch and Lita, ending their second reign at 114 days.[90] As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Damage CTRL was drafted to the SmackDown brand.[91]

On the May 12 episode of SmackDown, Kai and Bayley lost their match for the Women's Tag Team Championship against

Raquel Rodriguez. During the match, both Kai and Morgan suffered injuries, with Kai tearing her ACL and Morgan injuring her shoulder.[92][93] Kai made a physical appearance for the first time since her injury at SummerSlam to celebrate Sky's WWE Women's Championship victory. Kai would then begin to appear regularly in a manager role for Damage CTRL until she is medically cleared for in-ring competition. On the February 9 episode of Smackdown, Kai saved Bayley from Damage CTRL[94] and was briefly kicked out of the stable as a result.[95] However, on the March 1, episode of Smackdown where Kai and Bayley were set in a match against The Kabuki Warriors, Kai betrayed Bayley and rejoined the stable by attacking Bayley.[96]
