Dakota Kai on working with WWE legend Shawn Michaels
Dakota Kai recently praised Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels for always supporting her.
The Heartbreak Kid is currently in charge of the creative direction for NXT and even appeared during the 2023 WWE Draft to announce a couple of selections. Shawn works closely with performers in NXT and has been complimented by several superstars for helping them with their careers.
Speaking with Emily Mae of Sportskeeda Wrestling in an exclusive interview, the Damage CTRL member said that Michaels has always supported her and compared a younger version of himself to her.
"He's awesome. When I was in NXT, he was the guy we used to look for advice, and he had my back a lot, too. He always supported me, and he kind of compared me to him in terms of character, like a guy bumping around a crazy person. I think he saw me in him when he was younger. He's been a great support," said Dakota Kai. [5:18 - 5:39]
Damage CTRL has been struggling to get back on track since the group lost the Women's Tag Team Championships earlier this year. It will be interesting to see if a fresh start on SmackDown will help the faction following the WWE Draft.
