NXT TakeOver: WarGames III: 6 things that must happen at the event

#5 Dakota Kai finds her way into the WarGames match

The Captain of Team Kick needs a shot to rise to the top

Dakota Kai’s return after an injury has been a good one, and she’s managed to secure much more time on television than she got before her injury.

Kai has been in the middle of one of the hottest stories brewing in the women’s locker room, and we’ve seen her compete against NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler and NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray in recent weeks.

Kai has come up short in both matches but has managed to pull off her best performances in NXT against both the top champions.

It was heartbreaking to watch her being left out of Rhea Ripley’s team for the first-ever women’s WarGames match, while Tegan Nox and Mia Yim were included in the mix along with Candice LeRae.

WWE could use this angle smartly, and play out a story where one of the members of Team Ripley gets attacked by a mystery Superstar before the event begins. Kai could then be asked to join the team by Ripley and could help her team win the match.

Later on, the company could use the story and reveal Kai as the mysterious attacker, turning her heel in the process and giving her a Johnny Gargano-esque storyline to follow.
