WWE NXT star Dakota Kai was recently interviewed by Stuff to talk about her journey to the WWE. Here are some of the highlights:
Being on WrestleMania’s pre-show: “It’s still hard to believe that happened. Us girls involved found out literally the night before,” Kai told Stuff from her base in Orlando, Florida. Before I went down the ramp towards the ring, someone told me that it’s going to be overwhelming, it’s going to be insane but just take a moment, take a breath and absorb it as best you can because it’s going to go by like that and it really did.
“The whole experience was a whirlwind of emotions. Walking out in front of 80,000 people, as you could imagine, it’s the scariest thing in the world. But it was really, really cool.”
Her journey to realizing her dream of becoming a WWE Superstar: “Being here has been my dream for at least the last 13 years. I spent a lot of that time working the independent scene so to be here is still really crazy to me. And from there the opportunity to have a tryout happened and I got offered a contract,” Kai added.
“So it’s been a crazy ride but I’ve never been more passionate about anything in my life. All that travelling was something I loved to do and I always, always hoped that one day I’d be given the opportunity and here we are.”
