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.

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.
