Dakota Kai has made her decision on SmackDown amidst the ongoing feud between Bayley and Iyo Sky. The WWE Royal Rumble has concluded, and the winners, whose names have not been mentioned, have already chosen their opponents. In a surprising turn of events, Bayley chose not to select her former teammate but instead opted for her former Damage CTRL faction member. This decision comes after Bayley was expelled from the faction she helped create. On this week’s episode of SmackDown, a missing member of the faction made their stance known.
During the show, the 34-year-old Superstar was confronted by her former stablemate, whose name has been omitted, who pleaded for her return to the faction. The former Women’s Champion accused Dakota Kai of being involved in a conspiracy. Just as Dakota was about to address her side, the Kabuki Warriors, whose names have been omitted, made their entrance. Dakota left the ring and retrieved a chair, causing all four Damage CTRL members to surround Bayley.
Rather than attacking Bayley, the Kiwi Superstar appeared to side with her, as they both targeted Iyo Sky and the other unnamed participant. This alliance confirmed their solidarity as they stood together in the ring, although the Royal Rumble winner seemed somewhat skeptical about the situation.
It is likely that Dakota Kai will continue to support Bayley for the time being. Whether the allegations made by Bayley about Dakota turning on her are true or not remains to be seen. As the storyline progresses on the Road to WrestleMania, only time will reveal the true intentions of the 35-year-old star.
With Cody Rhodes, the winner of the Royal Rumble, set to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, the World Heavyweight Champion finds himself without any contenders. As a result, WWE needs a credible Superstar to step up and face him at WrestleMania. It was announced on SmackDown that at WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth, six superstars will compete for a shot at the title. Two participants have already qualified, while the remaining four have yet to be determined. With the event approaching, WWE may need to expedite the process and add more star power. With the absence of Punk, the promotion will be searching for a suitable replacement.
Furthermore, WWE has shifted its focus from Rhodes and Reigns to Rollins. The full-time champion will not be defending his title at the event due to injury. Fans are hopeful that WWE will deliver an unforgettable match and continue its streak of thrilling Elimination Chambers.
