In recent weeks, we’ve see Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez look more and more like Shawn Mchaels & Diesel. They’ve gone in deep with this comparison, with Gonzalez even earning the nickname ‘Big Momma Cool’ from Mauro Ranalo, an obvious reference to the nickname of Diesel.
This doesn’t quite come from them having a big head, comparing themselves to WWE legends, it comes right from one of the men themselves.
Shawn Michaels Was The First To Bring This Comparison
Following the heel turn on Tegan Nox at NXT Takeover: WarGames, she’d add Raquel Gonzalez at the next event, and that is what has made her a top player. WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels instantly recognized what was going on, and Dakota Kai would speak with him following this show.
With the addition of Raquel Gonzalez, it took it to a whole new level. We get to play with a lot of really cool ideas. Shawn Michaels literally compared us to himself and Diesel and you know, I’m going to take that and run with it.
When you’re compared to the breakout act of two of the best in wrestling, you have no choice but to go all in. Dakota Kai isn’t yet the ‘Heartbreak Girl’, but I wouldn’t count this out.
Speaking On Raquel Gonzalez
While Dakota Kai was doing fantastic prior to adding Gonzalez to the act, there is few doubts that she instantly raised the stock of the team. Kai knew she was due for a breakout role, but didn’t imagine it’d be alongside her.
Raquel’s a beast. She was at NXT at the Performance Center even before I got there so a lot of us were wondering when she was going to get her shot because she’s such a hard worker. She’s so strong and talented. When is this girl going to get her big break? Little did I know it was going to be with me. A lot of us were so happy for her.
Dakota Kai would lose a chance at the NXT Women’s Championship this past Wednesday to Tegan Nox, being the final to fall in the elimination match. Her time will come however, and when it does, Gonzalez will certainly be right there. Is Dakota Kai a future NXT Women’s Champion? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
