WWE NXT Superstar Dakota Kai recently had an interview with Wrestling Inc Podcast and spoke about how could NXT working with Raw and SmackDown will help to expand the brand.
The inaugural Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winner thinks that NXT should have more crossovers with Raw and SmackDown brands to further elevate the brand. She also mentioned the 2019 Survivor Series success and how people loved it.
“I know the past year has been difficult for that to be something that [could happen more]. I think the only way to elevate NXT further is to have a lot more crossover between the brands: SmackDown and Raw and NXT. They should combine more.”
“A lot of people remember the Survivor Series that happened in 2019. There was a lot of crossover happening. It was crazy. When NXT came to SmackDown for the first time, causing ruckus. People loved that. I think there is a lot of opportunity there to tell different stories nobody has ever seen before”
Dakota Kai also said that there were many female talents who are getting less time but she feels like they should have given more time on TV to show their skills and build confidence.
“Even the girls who have been there a long time like Kacy Catanzaro, Kayden Carter,” Kai said. “They’ve been given a little bit, but I feel like they could really do with more TV time to put their skills out there and build their confidence in how they portray themselves on TV. Indi Hartwell has been given the opportunity with The Way, which is only going to help her not only within that stable, but individually too. There is just so much talent there. And a lot of girls that have been there a long time that could do good with more exposure.”
Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez are the first-ever winners of Women Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament and also got the future title shot at WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
