January 26, 2020. Minute Maid Park. Houston, Texas. WWE Royal Rumble 2020. The countdown came to zero. The buzzer went off. Number 15 in the 30 Women Royal Rumble match made her long jog to the ring. It was Dakota Kai. King Kota was part of the NXT contingent participating in the match. She went right for Dana Brooke, introducing her to the basement pump kick and Kaio-Kick. Dakota focused on trying to eliminate Brooke, however would instead get eliminated over the top rope by sneaky number 16 Chelsea Green. She's a monster!

It wasn't a long night for King Kota. But it still had to be a memorable experience. The roar of the crowd. The atmosphere. That surreal jog to the ring. Getting to showcase the Kaio-Kick once again on a large stage. The bonus of her preparation briefly highlighted on WWE Network documentary series The Day Of: Royal Rumble 2020. Not too bad for a Rumble debut.
