Dakota Kai says she’s in Io Shirai’s head. But will that psychological edge be enough for her to capture the NXT Women’s Championship?

Kai will look to do exactly that as she challenges Shirai at NXT TakeOver XXX.

The Captain of Team Kick felt it appropriate to dub herself the No. 1 Contender after not one, but two blindside assaults on Shirai. Then Kai officially earned that distinction by defeating former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, albeit with some assistance from Mercedes Martinez.

Shirai will also have to account for the potential presence of Raquel González, as “Big Mami Cool” has been an X-factor in Kai’s favor several times previously.

Does Kai have what it takes to solve The Genius of the Sky? Or will Shirai remain golden?
