Fans have speculated on the reason (s) behind its release from WWE, and now we have a little more information on the reasons why it happened. Dave Meltzer from F4wonline.com reported (via The Wrestling Observer Newsletter) This part of the reason for which Dakota Kai was released is due to his age. Kai is 37 years old, and it was noted as “part of it”. Meltzer noted that Kai had received almost unanimous praise inside WWE and his release was a surprise.
It was noted that Kai was considered someone that WWE could use at “micro level” but never was going to be a long -term long -term draw like a Rhea Ripley or Charlotte Flair. Meltzer noted that a source said that Dakota could have worked with other high -level stars like Becky Lynch or Liv Morgan, but in the short term. In general, there was a conviction that Kai was too paid to make her lose against talent by going up in the company.

Dakota Kai underlines how much fans help an artist
Before being released by WWE, Dakota Kai spoke with the editor -in -chief of Wrestlezone, Bill Pritchard, in Wrestlemania 41. Kai was invited to know if there were moments of her wrestling career on which she would like fans to concentrate more. She called part of her work with Rhea Ripley in NXT, noting that many of her favorite matches at that time were in front of an empty building.
“I have not yet fought on Rhea (Ripley) on the main list. I had a few games with her in NXT. So perhaps during this time, especially NXT in 2020, when it was like “the era cocovored”. There were a lot of good things that happened, ”said Dakota Kai.
“There was a scale match of six women who occurred in front of Zero People. Do you know how many scales hurt when nobody encourages you? (Laughs) it was a lot of trouble,” added Dakota. “It is surprising to see how much applause does your adrenaline help and did not feel pain. It was a match! “
