Major title opportunity; stunning betrayal? - 4 reasons why Dakota Kai could have attacked Kairi Sane on WWE RAW
Damage CTRL's Kairi Sane was the victim of an attack last night on WWE RAW. The veteran was supposed to compete in the Women's Intercontinental Championship tournament, but that will no longer be the case following the attack.
Pure Fusion Collective has had issues with the faction in recent weeks and was spotted near the scene of the ambush. However, there have been some recent clues that seemingly point in the direction of Dakota Kai being responsible for the attack on her stablemate.
Listed below are four reasons why Dakota Kai may have attacked Kairi Sane on WWE RAW.
#4. Dakota Kai may have been jealous of Kairi Sane on WWE RAW
Kairi Sane is a former NXT Women's Champion and has captured the Women's Tag Team Championship twice on the main roster. Dakota Kai has struggled with injuries throughout her career and could be growing resentful of her stablemates.
Kai may have decided to attack Sane last night on WWE RAW to take out some of her frustration. The veteran could be jealous of Sane's success on the main roster and could have attacked her to ensure that she would not become the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion.
#3. The veteran may have wanted to avoid facing Kairi Sane in the finals of the tournament
Kairi Sane is a very talented WWE Superstar and was a threat to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship on RAW. Dakota Kai may have decided to attack her stablemate for selfish reasons during last night's show.
Kai may believe that she would struggle to defeat the Pirate Princess in the finals of the tournament. Rather than finding out who the better wrestler was in the finals, the 36-year-old could have attacked her stablemate as a way to avoid the potential match altogether.
#2. Kai may want to leave Damage CTRL behind
Dakota Kai complained on Twitch about not getting opportunities as a singles star on the main roster earlier this year. She could be getting tired of being a member of a faction and may want to break out on her own.
Kai could have attacked Kairi Sane on RAW as a way to make it known that she no longer wants to be a part of Damage CTRL. The former champion may also be planning to target IYO SKY in the weeks ahead.
#1. Kai could be envious of Kairi Sane's friendship with IYO SKY
Dakota Kai has spent a lot of time on the shelf recovering from injuries, and her stablemates have likely grown closer to each other without her. Kai tore her ACL in 2023 and missed a couple of months earlier this year after suffering a torn meniscus as well.
WWE may have plans to turn Kai heel and have her become a singles star on RAW. She could be revealed as the star who attacked Sane in the weeks ahead, leading to major turmoil within Damage CTRL.
