Dakota Kai Believes Tag Team Titles Could Help Elevate Women’s Division

WWE star Dakota Kai believes the tag team titles could help elevate the women’s division.

At SummerSlam 2022, Dakota Kai returned to WWE alongside Bayley and IYO SKY to form the Damage Control stable.

Kai and Sky defeated Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on the September 12 edition of Raw.

Speaking on El Brunch de WWE, Kai discussed the title win and what’s her goals for her return.

She said:

“So with the Women’s Tag Team Championships being brought back, and then creating a tournament around it, during the tournament, we were really adamant that we were going to be the ones to win those championship. In the finals, it didn’t work out that way, so I think with the rematch, we knew we had to be the ones to win them. In terms of us and Damage CTRL and all the things we’ve been saying, we won at Clash, but we needed more momentum. For IYO and I to win these tag team championships, not only does it do something for us, and us as a group, but it does something for the division. I would love to defend these tag team championships against any team that wants to challenge for them. I think that that only elevates us, but it elevates the division and all the women within it together.”

Kai concluded with emphasizing that she wants the women’s division to be lifted up, saying:

“I want so badly for this division to continue to be elevated and lifted and just to prove that we are worthy of these tag team championships. Whoever wants to try and take them off of us, it’s not gonna be that easy. So [laughs] it was such a cool moment.”
