Dakota Kai teases revealing secret with popular female star on-screen in WWE
Dakota Kai has a secret with a fellow WWE Superstar and has teased revealing it on television. Kai is friends with backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley, and they share a secret handshake together that might finally be revealed soon.
The Damage CTRL member gained a lot of momentum this past Monday on WWE RAW in Everett, Washington. She defeated Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance in a triple-threat match to advance to the semifinals of the tournament to determine the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion.
In a post on her Instagram stories, Dakota Kai shared several snippets from Kelley's stories. They did their secret handshake after Cathy interviewed Kai backstage but the cameras didn't catch it. The Kiwi star is ready to show it to their fans as soon as possible.
"It's gonna be on camera next time," Kai wrote.
Dakota was very animated backstage after winning her triple-threat match. Kai told Cathy Kelley that she deserved to be the first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.
"You know more than anyone how my journey has been filled with ups and downs, and ins and outs. But if there's one thing that's evaded me during my whole time in this company, it's been singles championship gold. And that IC Championship would look so good around my waist. It's in my crosshairs right now. It's my time, it's my time!" Kai said.

Dakota Kai returned to action last month following knee surgery
When Dakota Kai was taken out by The Pure Fusion Collective back in August, it was used as a way to write her off WWE television. Kai suffered a torn meniscus and had to undergo surgery.
It wasn't as bad as a torn ACL, which she has suffered twice in her career already. She was back in action less than three months later on November 11th when she teamed up with Kairi Sane and IYO SKY to beat Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, and Sonya Deville.
Kai has never won a singles championship in WWE, but she's a two-time Women's Tag Team Champion and two-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion.
