Rhea Ripley and Dakota Kai set for Wednesday night showdown
The bad blood is set to boil over when Rhea Ripley and Dakota Kai meet on NXT this Wednesday night.
The rivalry between Ripley and Kai has long simmered on the black-and-gold brand. Earlier this summer, The Captain of Team Kick bested The Nightmare in an NXT Women’s Title No. 1 Contender Match thanks to a timely assist from Mercedes Martinez. Kai was once again on the winning side, as Team Candice bested Ripley’s Team Shotzi squad at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. WWE Digital can confirm Kai has been medically cleared following the brutal Women’s WarGames Match.
