Wednesday night’s edition of WWE NXT saw Dakota Kai win a last chance gauntlet match to earn her way into the upcoming #1 contender’s ladder match.
Kai won the gauntlet by last defeating Shotzi Blackhart, who had a breakout performance defeating Deonna Purrazzo, Xia Li, Aliyah, and Kayden Carter in a dominant display, prior to being eliminated herself.
The ladder match will determine a new number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship and was originally set to take place at NXT Takeover: Tampa, before the show was cancelled.
Kai joins Chelsea Green, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Io Shirai, and her rival, Tegan Nox in the ladder match set to take place next week on WWE NXT. That show will also see the last ever match between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, recorded at an unknown external site.
