Dakota Kai would have plenty of options to choose from if she returned to NXT.
NXT was the brand Dakota Kai called home from 2017 to 2022. She was called up to RAW to join the Damage CTRL faction, which she’s been a member of the group ever since then. Dakota recently spoke with Stephanie Hypes for Bodyslam.net at WrestleMania 41 media day about potentially returning to compete on NXT, which is an idea she would be very much on board with.
“I never held the NXT Women’s Championship, or they’ve even got the [Women’s] North American Championship now. I would love to wrestle any of those girls,” Dakota Kai said. “You’ve got Kelani [Jordan], Lash [Legend], Sol [Ruca], all of these girls. Fallon [Henley], the list goes on and on and on. You could just blindly point and be like, ‘she’s dope!’
“Any of those girlies, I’d love to wrestle in the ring,” she added. “Even the new girls on the LFG show, like Penina [Tuilaepa], she’s so cool! She’s got to barbecue for me, she cooks Samoan food.”
Where has Damage CTRL been?
Dakota Kai’s Damage CTRL stablemates, Asuka and Kairi Sane, are both still sidelined due to injuries they suffered in 2024. Asuka had surgery to fix a knee injury and has not wrestled since losing the Women’s Tag Team titles at WWE Backlash: France in May 2024. Kairi Sane hasn’t competed in a WWE ring since the December 2, 2024 episode of RAW, which she recently said was due to a hand injury.
Dakota Kai has remained active on the WWE roster, but has not competed since the March 27 episode of WWE Main Event. Her last appearance on RAW came on March 14.
