Raquel Gonzalez will defend the NXT Women’s Championship against her former friend and partner, Dakota Kai at WWE NXT TakeOver 36.

Just month ago, the duo held the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship together after they won the inaugural Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. But Kai has betrayed Gonzalez because she wants her title, so the stage is now set for a deeply personal clash.

The NXT Universe is still shaking from Dakota Kai’s kick heard ‘round the world to Raquel Gonzalez.

Now, the former friends will go to battle for the NXT Women’s Title at NXT TakeOver 36.

Who will be holding the gold after the two formerly inseparable teammates square off in the ring?
