Dakota Kai recently took to social media to express her loyalty to Bayley after siding with her on WWE SmackDown. Last week, Bayley was attacked by The Kabuki Warriors, setting the stage for her challenge to IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40. During this week’s SmackDown, Bayley addressed the attack and her relationship with former Damage CTRL teammates.
Dakota Kai made a surprising appearance during the segment, explaining her absence the previous week by claiming to have had a doctor’s appointment. When Bayley was surrounded by IYO, Asuka, and Kairi Sane, Kai intervened with a steel chair, making it clear that her allegiance was with Bayley.
On social media, Dakota Kai emphasized her loyalty to Bayley with a tweet that read, “BayKota 4 eva,” solidifying their partnership.
In a separate interview at the red-carpet event of Love and WWE: Bianca and Montez, Dakota Kai shared her emotional reaction to Bayley winning the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Despite not participating in the Rumble herself, Kai expressed tears of joy, describing the moment as overwhelming. She praised Bayley for her selflessness, support, and the opportunities she provided to her and IYO.
The history of WWE has seen Dakota Kai involved in various tag teams and factions, sometimes turning on her teammates. It remains to be seen if her loyalty to Bayley will stand the test of time, as the dynamics in WWE storylines can change swiftly.
