Dakota Kai challenges Raquel González for the NXT women’s championship at tonight’s TakeOver 36.

u200b“This is my time,” said Kai. “I feel more ready than I have ever felt before.”
Since the winter of 2019, Kai had teamed with González. Their pairing was very similar to a decades-old partnership between Shawn Michaels and Diesel, who Michaels previously used as his bodyguard. The narrative saw Diesel achieve great success before Michaels, leading to a feud between the two.
