Rhea Ripley's WrestleMania didn't go exactly as planned

#3 Dakota Kai

Dakota Kai's new aggressive offense could push her to the top of the card

During the reign of Shayna Baszler, the NXT Universe watched Dakota Kai constantly punished and tortured by the Queen of Spades. She never gave up, and each and every match saw the Captain of Team Kick's resilience get stronger.

We saw a metamorphosis in Kai back at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, with Kai turning on her best friend Tegan Nox, attempting to injure her leg while also crippling Team Ripley in their war against Team Baszler. Though Rhea Ripley's team would manage to go on and win, somehow, Yim's turn felt somewhat familiar. It reminded many fans of the Tommaso Ciampa/Johnny Gargano split back in 2017.

Judging from the past few years, Tommaso Ciampa proves that a dastardly heel can bring the fans to their side after some time, and Kai is definitely one of the most devilish Superstars in NXT at the moment. With Raquel Gonzalez by her side, she just may win the NXT Women's #1 Contender's Ladder Match.

If she does, she may be able to dethrone Charlotte Flair.
