Shortly afterward, Dakota Kai betrayed her former ally in Raquel, thus turning Big Mami Cool babyface. She went on to retain her women's title against Kai at NXT TakeOver 36.
At NXT: Halloween Havoc, Raquel Gonzalez's reign as the NXT Women's Champion came to an end, courtesy of interference from the returning Kai, which allowed Mandy Rose to win the title.
