• Dakota Kai Explains Why WWE Released Her
During an interview on Busted Open Radio, 4-time WWE & NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Dakota Kai talked about injuries playing a role in her release from WWE:
“I think that definitely had a part to play. Obviously, with the change in management that probably had a big part to play too. It was surprising only because we were just coming off of the Intercontinental tournament. Obviously, plans changed.
It’s one of those things where I was constantly fighting a glass ceiling and even when I was, I thought I was going to break through it.”
When asked about a future in AEW or TNA, Dakota said:
“I think once I get back into it, both those companies and so many more have people that I would love to face in the ring. I just think once I do this match and get back, get the wheels turning again, wherever my path may lead, I’m open to it completely.
I think I just really needed to take a step back and sort of rebuild myself in terms of confidence and what I thought about myself as a wrestler in this world.
I didn’t really know if I still had a place in this world. Going forward, it’s just making sure that I’m good health-wise more than anything and that’s mental and physical as well.”
