#3 Shouldn’t happen: Dakota Kai’s heel turn

This much-awaited heel turn could wait for another night

Dakota Kai hinted at a possible heel turn when Rhea Ripley chose Mia Yim over her to join her team for the first-ever Women’s WarGames match. However, the following week we saw her backing Yim in her fight against Io Shirai.

Kai’s heel turn is arguably the best thing that can happen to her career at this stage. However, WarGames might not be the right time to carry out this turn. Instead, it would be better if she turns heel at Survivor Series.

Kai will be an important addition to the NXT Women’s team ahead of the battle of brand supremacy. She would be expected to prove her worth but instead, she could look to make a statement. She was first addressed as a joke by Shayna Baszler and then underestimated by Rhea Ripley which ended up keeping her away from a historic moment.

Kai can avenge the unfair treatment meted out to her by turning on her team and declaring her intention to stand alone against the entire roster. Moreover, she is the only Superstar on NXT that has a valid reason to betray her brand at Survivor Series.
