As aforementioned, Dakota Kai was among the many NXT stars released by WWE. Taking to Twitter, Bayley revealed how the former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion helped in her recovery process after she suffered an injury:
"I can never fully express how much Dakota Kai has helped me during my injury process. She constantly checks in on me, reassures what I’m feeling is only temporary, and shares her experience with me so I don’t feel alone."
In a follow-up tweet, she continued by writing:
"… And Dakota is one of the main reasons I couldn’t wait to get healthy. For the opportunity to wrestle her, to work alongside her, to make history with her. Now I just have to be jealous of whoever gets to. We love you Charlie! See you around"
