"She was right to put you in your place" - 34-year-old WWE star sends strong message to racist fan
Dakota Kai recently sent a strong message to a WWE fan who previously made racist comments towards her Damage CTRL partner IYO SKY.
While competing a few years ago in NXT, a fan in attendance made a racist comment towards SKY, telling her to "go back to China." The WWE Superstar responded instantly, "I'm Japanese, b*tch!"
In a recent interview with Ring The Belle, SKY and Kai addressed the incident. The latter even sent a message to the racist fan, stating that her tag team partner was right to put him in his place.
"That guy was being an a**hole. What are you doing? Get out of there. She was right to put you in your place bro," Kai said. [3:19 - 3:23]
