Team Ripley had to make a last-second adjustment when Mia Yim was taken out before TakeOver WarGames even started, and in her place, they went with Dakota Kai. This was Kai's chance to prove she belonged on their team in the first place, but the team got far more than they bargained for after the match started, as Dakota Kai ended up turning on her team and brutally beating down her friend and teammate Tegan Nox, going full heel in the process.

She didn't just beat down Nox either, but slammed her repaired knee in the door of the cage repeatedly, knocking her out of the match and getting herself kicked out f the match in the process.

You can watch how it unfolded below, but things are going to be far different going forward for Kai.
