Leilani Kai then went on to dominate the WWF Women's Tag Team Division as co-title holder with Judy Martin on 2 occasions. Both ladies became known as The Glamour Girls and thier most notible feud was against The Jumping Bomb Angels when they were managed by Jimmy Hart.

After Kai's WWF run, she reemerged in Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA). Herself and Judy Martin continued on as a tag team and captured the LPWA Tag Team titles from Team America (Misty Blue Simmes & Heidi Lee Morgan). LPWA then folded in 1993.

Leilani Kai then made a return to the WWF in 1994 wrestling Alundra Blayze throughout the US and was her challenger for the WWF Women's title at WrestleMania X.

Kai then went on to participate in WCW's Women's Division. She worked numerous matches against Madusa Mecelli in 1996 and Malia Hosaka. She also wrestled on Nitro in 1999 as Patty Stonegrinder.
