Dakota Kai shares tournament journey perspective
During a recent interview with The Ringer Wrestling Show, Dakota Kai expressed her emotions heading into the championship opportunity.
I am so pumped. I’m very overwhelmed. I mean, it feels like it’s been a long time coming. I’ve been in the company for about seven years now, and while I’ve had opportunities, it’s almost been like close but no cigar. So for me, next week is a big opportunity to show what I can do, for starters, and then hopefully finish off that fairytale ending and have my hand raised high and have that belt around my waist.
