WWE performer Kiana James posted a video acknowledging the reason for her absence.
James (Kayla Klingensmith) has been off television since June with PWinsider.com reporting she had sustained a leg injury.

That report was confirmed by a video post of James rehabbing, indicating images of her leg in a brace. She did not directly comment on the specificity of the injury or provide any information regarding a timetable for her return.
The video features multiple clips of her rehabilitating, and if you pay attention, both knees are shown in braces throughout the short post.
It appears James is working out in the ring, as past posts on X show her in the ring at Flatbacks Wrestling School in Florida.
James debuted in NXT in 2022 and won the tag titles on that brand with Fallon Henley before her call-up to Raw last year.
