Rhea Ripley defied all odds to pick a win against Shayna Basler and her team in the first-ever Women’s WarGames match. Although she was successful in making history alongside Candice LeRae, Ripley had to overcome the initial setbacks caused as a result of Dakota Kai’s heel turn.

Mia Yim was attacked ahead of the show which prompted Ripley to replace her with Dakota Kai. But right before Kai had to enter the monstrous cage at WarGames, she turned heel and attacked Tegan Nox before forfeiting the match.
Dakota Kai showed tendencies of heel turn when Ripley chose Mia Yim over her. Even NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler poked fun at Kai for being an average competitor. Thus, the latter turned heel and made a statement and will now address her well-executed shift in character.
She is not expected to form an alliance, but Kai will definitely engage in a conversation with Ripley or Baszler that will eventually set up a triple-threat match with the NXT Women’s Championship on the line.
