WWE has announced that WWE NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez will make her next title defense at the TakeOver 36 event.
On Monday, WWE confirmed Dakota Kai will challenge Gonzalez for the strap at this show. This comes after Kai had turned on her best friend and attacked her on NXT TV. Last week, WWE aired a video package to further build the program and told the story about how Kai was there all along to watch the success that Gonzalez had accomplished.
