Tonight’s WWE NXT episode on the USA Network saw Dakota Kai return to the ring. She defeated Taynara in singles action.

Above is video from the match and below is post-match video of Kai talking to Josiah Williams about her return.

Williams asked if this was the return she had been hoping for.

“Is this the return? Yes, it’s everything,” Kai said. “For the last 8-9 months I’ve been grinding away in rehab. No one’s documenting what I’m doing, I’m just doing it, and to come back tonight and make the impact that I did, it’s just… it just proves the only person I need is myself. I’m just happy to be back home and in front of the NXT Universe.”
