Dakota Kai attacks Raquel Gonzalez on WWE NXT

Dakota Kai turned on Raquel Gonzalez on tonight’s episode of NXT.

Gonzalez and Kai came out, with Gonzalez saying that she had defeated everyone. Kai issued a challenge for anyone to come out and challenge Gonzalez for NXT TakeOver 36 next month. When no one came out, Kai told Gonzalez that as long as she had Gonzalez’s back, she would always be champion. As Gonzalez was celebrating, Kai suddenly attacked Gonzalez in the corner with a kick. She then grabbed the NXT Women’s title and stood over Gonzalez, indicating she wanted the next title match.

The two had been associated with one another since February 2020, when Kai defeated Tegan Nox in a street fight thanks to the debuting Gonzalez. The duo went on to become the first-ever NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, however they lost the titles on the same night to Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon.

Gonzalez had most recently defeated Xia Li on the July 20 episode of NXT, successfully retaining the NXT Women’s title.
