WWE’s Shayna Baszler Taunts Dakota Kai After TakeOver and Teases Championship Match

NXT TakeOver Vengeance Day features the anticipated finals matches for both the Women’s and Men’s Dusty Cup, and while we are still waiting for one of the winning teams to be crowned, we know the winners of the Women’s finals already. It was Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez that took the win, and with it an opportunity to compete for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. The current Champs are Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax, and Baszler is already targeting Kai with some bad memories.

A few minutes after the victory, Baszler shared a tweet of Baszler’s previous confrontation with Kai during their time in NXT, and the GIF showed Kai cowering in fear as Baszler tried to intimidate her in the corner of the ring.

She didn’t add a caption, but then again she didn’t need to, and it seems Baszler is already trying to play mind games with her next opponent.

Unfortunately for Baszler, this isn’t the old days, and that is not remotely the same Kai we seen in NXT today. She also has a powerhouse by her side watching her back, and while Baszler has her own in Nia Jax, this is going to be a much different match than she’s expecting.

All this to say, this match cannot happen soon enough.
