At last Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam, the company brought in Dakota Kai, who has been sidelined with an injury, to see fellow Damage CTRL member IYO SKY cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase to beat Bianca Belair to win the Women’s Title after Belair had won the title in a triple threat match over Asuka and Charlotte Flair.
At the SummerSlam press conference, Kai noted she is still “a ways away” from returning from her torn ACL injury.
While speaking on Twitch, the WWE star detailed her experience and noted WWE told her that she was wanted for the show at 1 pm Saturday afternoon on the day of the show. This caught her off guard as she was sleeping in and woke up to her phone blowing up.
Kai stated that there was only one flight to Detroit from where she was, so she hoped on a flight with Spirit Airlines. She had a flight delay due to mechanical issues.
“Whatever match was after Shayna and Ronda, we landed,” Kai estimated on when she landed. “And thank goodness, they sent car service to come and get me and then they also had a makeup lady in the car…yes, lucky [SKY winning the title] was semi-main because I definitely wouldn’t have made it, I don’t think.”
