Shayna Baszler Considers Forming Alliance with Injured 4-Time Champ, Dakota Kai
Former tag team powerhouse Shayna Baszler has been making waves since her split with Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank 2023. Now, in a surprising twist, she’s expressed interest in joining forces with another formidable talent.
End of One Partnership, Beginning of Another?
The WWE Universe is still reeling from the end of the Shayna Baszler-Ronda Rousey alliance. Their split, which many saw as the dissolution of one of the most dominant female tag teams in recent history, has opened up new storylines and possibilities in the women’s division. One such possibility that has come to light is Baszler’s interest in teaming up with Dakota Kai, a 4-time champion currently recovering from injury.
The possibility of this alliance isn’t entirely out of left field. Baszler and Kai have a real-life friendship that goes beyond the squared circle. Many fans and experts have speculated about the potential of this pairing, especially given their shared history and individual prowess in the ring.
Phillipa Marie from Sportskeeda managed to grab an exclusive with The Queen of Spades herself to dig deeper into these speculations.
Baszler’s Thoughts on Dakota Kai
When probed about her relationship with Dakota Kai and the potential of an on-screen team-up, Shayna Baszler was candid and open:
“If that presented itself for whatever reason, [then] yeah, I’m not opposed to that. She can take a beating. I’ve given it to her plenty of times. I know that wouldn’t be wasted.”
These comments reference their history in NXT, where Baszler had given Kai more than one tough match. Kai’s resilience in those matches, combined with her title-winning abilities, makes her an interesting and compelling choice for a new partnership.
The WWE Landscape Post MITB 2023
With Rousey out of the picture, Baszler is clearly evaluating her strategic choices in the WWE landscape. While Dakota Kai’s injury status remains a concern, her eventual return will undoubtedly shake things up.
Experts predict that if Baszler and Kai were to form an alliance, their combined might, strategy, and shared history could make them an unstoppable force in the women’s division. The combination of Baszler’s submission skills and Kai’s high-flying maneuvers would be a treat for fans and a nightmare for opponents.
For now, fans can only speculate and wait. Dakota Kai’s return date is still shrouded in mystery, and Baszler’s next moves remain unpredictable. However, this potential alliance has certainly added another layer of intrigue to the post-MITB 2023 storylines.
The WWE Universe is known for its unexpected twists and turns. While there’s no official word on a Baszler-Kai tag team yet, the mere hint of such an alliance is enough to set the rumor mills abuzz. As both wrestlers chart their paths in the ever-evolving landscape of WWE, fans worldwide will be watching closely, hoping for another dynamic duo to take the stage.
