May 2, 2025. WWE released Dakota Kai. For a second time. A sad moment. But too a moment to reflect on what had been a great journey. From returning as a member of Damage CTRL to liberating the group from a tyrant and becoming its leader. Fighting her way to the finals of a tournament to decide an inaugural champion. Going out on top, winning what would be the final match of her second WWE tenure. When down, coming back stronger and better. Her WWE journey might be over, but this is not her end for it’s merely a passing of another age.

The Second Age of Dakota Kai has ended, this thread of her saga passing on into legend. The King now rests. But when the time is right, King Kota will rise again.
