Dakota Kai is back in a big way. The New Zealand-based wrestler made her return to WWE at WWE SummerSlam this past weekend, her first official appearance on the main roster. Kai had previously had a one-off cameo during the lead-up to NXT’s invasion at Survivor Series 2019 and competed in the women’s Royal Rumble match in January 2020. From there, Kai would return to NXT and would see great success with partner Raquel González (now Raquel Rodriguez). Dakota and Raquel would engage in a feud with Toxic Attraction this spring, which culminated in Dakota unsuccessfully challenging Mandy Rose for the NXT Women’s Championship. That would be Kai’s last appearance in WWE until SummerSlam, as she was released from her contract after Kai reportedly expressed disinterest in renewing her deal.
… And Dakota is one of the main reasons I couldn’t wait to get healthy. For the opportunity to wrestle her, to work alongside her, to make history with her. Now I just have to be jealous of whoever gets to. We love you Charlie! See you around 😈❤️ https://t.co/kwCxQEuGBZ
