Damage CTRL member Dakota Kai is currently one half of the WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions with IYO SKY. She was previously released in April this year. However, she made her return to the company at WWE SummerSlam as part of the faction led by Bayley. Being a sought-after free agent, Kai didn’t take bookings following her 30-day non-compete clause. She recently revealed why she took time to decided re-signing with WWE.
Dakota Kai opens up on the matter
Speaking to Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Kai explained why she took her time in making a decision.
“That was always in the back of my mind, ‘Should I not be hitting the ground running’ in terms of doing Indie promotions and things like that. I just didn’t have it in me to rush in after the 30 days were up and be like ‘boom, boom.’ Obviously, there were talks that were happening, but I think it worked out a lot better for me that I didn’t. I focused on streaming and something that was more relaxing and something that I love.
It all worked out great and I came back into the company refreshed and with a nice outlook on everything that happened instead of trying to be like, ‘I have to do this, this, and this.’ Obviously, that’s good, but for me personally, I wanted to step back and look at everything, reassess, and make sure that’¦it’s not even about the bookings. I wanted to make sure, in my own mind, I wasn’t going into things just because I was like, ‘I have to capitalize on this’ and ‘after 30 days, I have to do this, this, and this.’ It was definitely a priority for me to worry about myself and how I was feeling,” she said.
Kai picked up a victory over Candice LeRae on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.
