One of the most impressive villains in NXT, Dakota Kai is looking to elevate herself even further in 2020. And the way to establish yourself as a bona fide star in NXT is by winning the Women’s Championship, which is Kai’s primary objective.
When she last spoke with Sports Illustrated in December, she discussed her heel turn on Tegan Nox and her plans to stand out in the division. She’s following through on that plan, and her cage match victory against Nox in March was as intense as it was creative.
Though Kai (real name Cheree Crowley, 31) is not scheduled for a program with NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, her work is placing her in a position where she is bound for a run at the title.
