This is recent too because Sol has more ink on her arm than when she got injured.
Bully Ray believes that WWE hasn’t done the right things to get Xia Li over with the fanbase, as he noted on Busted Open Radio. Bully weighed in on Li’s current feud with Becky Lynch and noted that the fans have not reacted strongly to Li as of yet, and gave an idea on how WWE can get them invested in her. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On Li not drawing a crowd reaction: “If you listened to the crowd last night, from the moment Xia Li’s music hit, to the moment we see Xia Li, to the moment that we see Xia Li do her Mortal Kombat thing with the rings, to the moment the bell rings and we see her wrestle, to the moment the bell rings and the match is over, to the moment that Xia Li is off the screen, what did the crowd tell you about their investment in Xia Li last night?”
On Li’s presentation and character: “What concerned me for Xia last night is it’s not like this woman was sent out there cold,” Bully bemoaned. They’ve invested some intricate aspects … to the presentation of her character… I didn’t even hear kids reacting last night. I spend a lot of time listening to pro wrestling because it tells you what you need to know and I listened intently last night to Xia Li and there was just no reaction, and they’re gonna kinda need to examine that.”
On how to make fans more invested in Li vs. Lynch: “Give her more quality of the time she’s in there. Last night, Becky Lynch makes an entrance and if Xia Li had just thrust kicked her in the throat and laid her out, you would’ve shocked people … Do something that is going to get people emotionally interested in her… All she would’ve needed was a minute to a minute and a half to beat up one of the most beloved characters in the WWE. And then you could’ve got something backstage later in the show where the doctors are checking on Becky and Becky issues the challenge for next week or wherever she issued the challenge.”

They are just now starting to use her. I think she's had only two matches on Raw since they started this "Becky feud". It's going to take time, of course there was no reaction when she hasn't been showcased at all in years.
What they did with her on NXT was a step in the right direction. They love to test things there first and then possibly bring it to Raw and SD later. Nakamura using translated promos is one example of this. That really helped the non-English speaking talent get over in NXT. Iyo benefited from it in her pairing with Zoey Stark.
Xia's English is pretty good, and last night's tea ceremony was a good segment. I agree with you, I think that the fans will warm up to her.
