Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly won’t be the only superstars who will look to end a grudge rivalry at WWE NXT TakeOver 36. Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez will also look to tear each other apart at TakeOver on Sunday.
Kai and Gonzalez were once best of friends in NXT. Gonzalez was introduced to the NXT Universe as Kai’s sidekick at Takeover: Portland. Big Mami Cool tried to help her win the NXT Women’s Championship in a couple of matches after the alliance came to life, but failed to do so each time.
After Gonzalez got more popular on NXT, fans began to see her as a future NXT Women’s Champion. La Reina de NXT did not disappoint and defeated Io Shirai to become the new champion.
The two women later won the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and became the first-ever NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. However, they lost the titles later the same night after having a very short reign.
The Captain of Team Kick has been jealous of Gonzalez’s success for some time, and she betrayed her friend on NXT a few weeks ago. The two women will now compete for the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver 36 on Sunday.
Will Gonzalez put Kai down and remain a dominant champion on the Black and Gold brand? Or will The Captain of Team Kick win her first-ever NXT Women’s Championship this week?

Now let's take a look at the five ways the title match between Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez could come to an end at TakeOver 36.
#5 A disqualification allows Raquel Gonzalez to retain her title at WWE NXT TakeOver 36
This Sunday at WWE NXT TakeOver 36, Raquel Gonzalez will be looking to teach Dakota Kai a lesson for betraying her. Meanwhile, Kai will be ready to go to any extent to win the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time.
The two women will likely have a few tricks up their sleeves as they try to put each other down. However, things could get out of hand as both women look to punish each other in their first match against each other.
Kai could bring a weapon into the fight out of desperation and use it before getting caught by the referee, leading to a disqualification. The result would allow Gonzalez to hold onto her title for longer while leaving the door open to a rematch between the two superstars.
#4 Dakota Kai cheats to become the new WWE NXT Women’s Champion at TakeOver 36
As mentioned earlier, Dakota Kai will be looking to go to any extent to win her first WWE NXT Women’s title at TakeOver 36. Kai has competed in several NXT Women’s Championships against Shayna Baszler and Io Shirai.
This will be one of her biggest chances to win the title, and a loss could severely hurt her credibility in NXT. With that in mind, Kai could look to cheat her way to victory at TakeOver 36.
The heel could look to bring a weapon into the match to hurt Gonzalez behind the referee’s back before connecting with Kaio Kick for the win. The angle will protect Gonzalez from a clean loss and give Kai her first singles title win.
#3 Raquel Gonzalez delivers the powerbomb to retain her WWE NXT Women’s Champion at TakeOver 36
Raquel Gonzalez is arguably the most powerful woman in WWE NXT. This has allowed her to remain one of the most dominant women in WWE today. She has the size and power to take down her opponents with ease.
Gonzalez will look to use her strength to her advantage during her NXT Women’s Championship defense against her former friend. Big Mami Cool could beat down Kai to a pulp at TakeOver 36 before delivering her signature single-arm powerbomb to retain her title.
A dominant victory would keep Gonzalez at the top of NXT and could free up Kai to move to the main roster.
#2 Gigi Dolin and Jacey Jane help Dakota Kai win the WWE NXT Women’s Champion at TakeOver 36
Raquel Gonzalez was once known as Dakota Kai’s henchwoman on WWE NXT. However, the superstar managed to create a fanbase of her own and went on to win the NXT Women’s Championship before Kai.
The Captain of Team Kick could look to hire the services of two newcomers to NXT in the hopes of winning the title at TakeOver 36. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne could show up during the contest and distract or attack Gonzalez to help Kai win the match and the title.
NXT could then get a new all-female faction on the brand following Kai’s tainted win. It will also allow Big Mami Cool to retain her credibility and possibly move to the main roster.
#1 Dakota Kai pins Raquel Gonzalez clean to become the new WWE NXT Women’s Champion at TakeOver 36
There are several ways in which the WWE NXT Women’s Championship match could end at TakeOver 36. However, both the contestants will look to pick up a dominant victory to become the NXT Women’s Champion.
Raquel Gonzalez has the strength, but Dakota Kai has the smarts and experience that can help her overcome Big Mami Cool. The match could play out in Kai’s favor as many fans are supporting her to win her first NXT Women’s title at TakeOver 36.
Kai could hit Gonzalez with a vicious Kaio Kick and pin her to win the title without cheating. A clean and dominant victory will give Kai a chance to enjoy a good reign as the champion without any controversies.
