Dakota Kai Discusses Bayley Wanting To Form A Group Years Ago With Candice LeRae And Tegan Nox
Bayley returned from injury at WWE SummerSlam and was flanked by Dakota Kai, returning after being released in April, and IYO SKY, also returning from injury.
The group is known as Damage CTRL and have been a staple of WWE programming since SummerSlam. Bayley has discussed wanting to form a group for years and has talked about it with Triple H in the past, but it didn’t come to fruition until this year.
Speaking on Getting Over, Kai discussed Bayley’s original plans years ago.
“From the very start, when she [Bayley] first messaged me a couple years before, it was myself, Candice LeRae, and Tegan (Nox). Those were the ones that were from the start. Obviously, things have happened from then until now that have changed. The photos and stuff we took earlier this year it was myself, IYO, Kay Lee Ray [Alba Fyre] and Raquel Gonzalez [Raquel Rodriguez]. That was like the updated version of that. Then, when she finally repitched it again in a last ditch effort when Triple H basically came to the company again, she sent him those photos of the five of us and his first response was like, ‘What’s Dakota doing right now?’ I felt really overwhelmed that he thought of me. That was the evolution of that,” she said.
Kai & SKY are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Kai was in action on Monday’s WWE Raw against Candice LeRae.
Elsewhere during the interview, Kai discussed competing in WarGames at WWE Survivor Series. Fans can find her comments by clicking here.
