The perpetrator of the attack on Yim was Dakota Kai. It took The HBIC out of the match and opened up a spot on Team Ripley. Since Kai was standing next to them, Ripley basically said 'okay, you're in.'

Other than the former NXT UK Women's Champion (Ripley), the Leader of Team Kick was another Superstar who had a life-changing weekend. Not only did she turn on her best friend in Tegan Nox, but also embraced the dark side for the first time in her WWE career.

We'll get some more insight into her mindset in the following weeks, but a huge way to keep Kai's momentum going is to participate in the Rumble next month. She'll likely be both cheered and booed if she entered and if they wanted to, they could have her eliminate a Superstar from NXT or a beloved face from RAW/SmackDown.

There's a lot of untapped potential that could be used with Kai in the match. She has had her fair share of injuries and has been with WWE for more than three years. The Leader of Team Kick is more than ready for the spotlight and the storyline of her being told she wasn't good enough should be one of the top ones in NXT going forward.
