The Last-Minute Call

On the day of the event, Dakota Kai was in for a surprise. She had planned a relaxing Saturday, with her phone set to “Do Not Disturb” mode.

However, upon waking up, she found her phone flooded with missed calls and messages. Among the callers was Bayley, urgently informing Kai that she was needed at SummerSlam, as Kai revealed in a recent Twitch stream.

The realisation hit Kai hard, considering the time and her current location in relation to the event venue.

The Race Against Time

Kai’s anxiety skyrocketed as she grappled with the logistics. From getting her hair done to ensuring her dog was taken care of, the challenges seemed endless.

The primary concern was finding a flight that would get her to the venue on time. After missing one potential flight, she was left with a choice between Spirit Airlines and a later Delta flight. Opting for Spirit, she hoped for the best.

Flight Delays and More

However, the universe seemed to have other plans. The flight was delayed due to maintenance issues, and even after boarding, the passengers had to wait for paperwork.

Adding to the chaos, a family on the flight decided it was the perfect time to rearrange seating. With the clock ticking, Kai’s stress levels were off the charts.

Touchdown and the Final Sprint to WWE SummerSlam

The plane finally took off around 7:15 PM. Upon landing, the event was already midway, with matches like Shayna Baszler vs. Ronda Rousey having concluded.

But WWE had made arrangements for Kai. A car service was waiting, and a makeup artist was on standby in the vehicle. The drive to the venue was a mad dash, with Kai getting her makeup done en route.

The Grand Entrance

Upon reaching the venue, there was no time to waste. Kai was quickly ushered into makeup, changed into her outfit, and was immediately positioned for the segment.

The rush was so intense that she barely had time to greet her colleagues. To maintain her surprise appearance, she was discreetly taken through a section with fans, ensuring she wasn’t recognized.
