Dakota Kai and IYO SKY defeated Asuka and Alexa Bliss to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships this past month at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

From her humble beginnings in NXT, Kai has come a long way in WWE as she continues to play a crucial role in the Damage CTRL faction alongside Bayley and SKY. The Kiwi Superstar may not have won a bunch of titles in her seven years with WWE, but she definitely has been featured in some memorable feuds with certain wrestlers in the women’s division.

While speaking to WWE Deutschland, Kai discussed some opponents she would like to wrestle in WWE. Two names stood out in the bunch and it shouldn’t come off as a surprise, as it was her feuds with Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley that spring-boarded Dakota’s career. She said,

“I want to face everyone because it only betters myself. I think the people that I’ve had the most fun, or the ones that have really challenged me in-ring too, have been Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley. Those are the first two that come to mind. I would love to get back into a story with both of them just to … because I haven’t really had a story with them since NXT.”

Kai further praised Ripley and expressed her desire to headline WrestleMania with The Nightmare. She added,

“She’s just got a presence about her that just brings like, a big show. I feel like she would be a fun one to headline WrestleMania [against] … She’s just such a badass, yeah, and she’s so young.”
