Honestly, she's incredibly talented, great on the microphone and can sell better than 99% of the main roster.

Her all-out, kicks-based style is a real crowd-pleaser, and she is technically excellent in the ring.

Even WWE.com can't help but praise her.

"The kick-happy Kiwi perfected her striking ability on the international independent scene for years, competing from Australasia to Japan, before joining the WWE Performance Center in 2017. Now a member of the NXT and NXT UK rosters, Kai looks to build upon her already-impressive resume, one kick at a time."

So why is she still in developmental after four years?

You would think that given Shawn Michaels and Triple H are so incredibly high on her that she would have been called up by now.

Give the New Zealander a chance on Smackdown. Let her kick the heads off of everyone she comes into contact with.

She is a future star, who needs to be unleashed upon the world.

Or, maybe HHH and HBK know what happens to a lot of female NXT stars who aren't the 4 horsewomen. Hence why the current NXT women's champion Shayna Baszler also remains in NXT despite being head and shoulders above the rest of the women's roster on Raw, Smackdown and NXT.
