Candace Lerae vs Dakota Kai: Grudge MatchTensions had been brewing backstage between Candace Lerae and Dakota Kai for months. They finally exploded when Candace discovered text message between Dakota and Candice’s husband, Johnny Gargano, The two had been fooling around behind Candice’s back!
After beating the crap out of her husband, Candice challenged Dakota to a no-holds barred, no time limit match at the next taping of NXT. The winner would be determined by either submission or KO.
“I am going to kick your Kiwi ass!” Candace promised. “And when I’m done I am going to knock you out in the world’s most devastating breast smother and humiliate you in front of the entire world!”
“Ha! You wish blondie,” replied Dakota. “Everyone knows I am the better wrestler and now your husband has proven who the better woman is. Not only will I beat you, I will strip your top off when I am done!”
An enraged Candace lunged at Dakota but other NXT wrestlers stepped in and pulled the two hellcats apart.

Fight night came so enough and both ladies showed up ready to fight in their ring gear and their fists taped. It was an unusual match since both women were likeable and considered “faces” and fans were not sure who to root for, although Candace was clearly the wronged party in this case.
The two wrestlers bounced up and down on the balls of their feet and shook their limbs eager to settle their feud as soon as the bell rang.
Candace came roaring out like a bat out of fire, aiming a clothesline for Dakota but missing. She then tried to fire punches at the New Zealander but the brunette dodged those two. Both women were highly skilled wrestlers but Dakota was a little quicker and Canadace’s attacks were a little clumsy in her eagerness to hurt Dakota.
As a result a result the blonde tired herself out a little swinging wildly and missing over and over.
The match eventually turned into more of a chain wrestling contest with Candace and Dakota applying and the reversing arms bars, headlocks, scissor holds, full nelsons and wrist locks. Whenever Candace got the advantage she would apply maximum torque to her submission holds, trying to hurt Dakota as much as possible.
At one point, she trapped Dakota in an excruciating camel clutch, pulling back violently on the Kiwis’s neck and casing excruciating pain to the brunette’s lower back. Dakota gasped in pain.
“Now I’ve got you, you bitch” Candace seethed.
Dakota’s eyes closed tightly in pain and she whimpered but inch by inch she managed to make her way to the ropes, and bucking her way free, roll under them.
Candace chased after her but was met with a stiff kick to the jaw that dropped her like a rock!
Dakota picked Candace up by a handful of hair and threw her back in the ring. Kai then went on a kicking rampage. She snapped off a dozen kicks to Candace’s chest and stomach. Once she had winded the blonde she threw her into a corner of the ring. Dakota then backed up to the opposite end of the squared circle. She ran at top speed around almost the entire ring before launching a flying knee strike into Candace’s jaw! The impact was devastating and Candace pooled into a boneless ragdoll.
It was then the Dakota show for the next 10 minutes of the match as Dakota the Kicking Machine kept pounding on Candace. It ended with a top rope splash that absolutely flattened Candace.
Even though she was ostensibly the villain in this match, the crowd got fully behind the Kiwis thanks to her fast-paced, impactful style.
Instead of covering Candace for the pin, she bounced up onto her feet and opened her arms, basking in the applause from the crowd. She then wiped her hands, gesturing that her work here was done.
She grabbed Candace again by her hair and lifted her up to her wobbly legs, setting her up for a suplex.
However, out of the blue, Candace winded back and fired a devastating right cross to Dakota’s jaw, reminiscent of Lacey’s Evan’s finisher, the Woman’s Right!
Instantly Dakota was knocked out cold. A dazed Candace barely realized what she had done. She fell on top of Dakota and waited for the three count.
The ref reminded Candace that there was no ins in this match, it was Kos or submissions only.
“Oh yeah,” said the dazed blonde.
She then crawled on top of Dakota before stuffing her sweaty breasts over Dakota’s face.
“I…I…told you this is how it would end, you slut,” Candace said, smiling.
Dakota gradually woke up as her oxygen was cut off. She then started jerking in a panicky motion. Candace rode out the twitching, making sure to keep her chest pressing onto Dakota’s breathing passages.
“No escape…” Candace murmured.
Dakota was in full panic now. She tried twisting and turning but Candace had her pinned too firmly and her head was still ringing from that haymaker that had ended the match.
“Can’t breathe! Can’t breathe!” said a muffled Dakota from beneath Candace.
The blonde smiled.
Eventually Dakota started seeing spots and her mind gradually drifted to black…Her body relaxed and became a plaything for Candace.
“Candace! Candace, you have to let her go!” said the ref.
“Fuck off, this bitch slept with my man,” said Candace. “I’m going to enjoy this.”
“Candace, stop, she can’t breathe!”
“I know. That’s the point idiot!” the blonde responded.
The crowd started booing lustily as the blonde tortured her victim. Finally a handful of other referees came into the ring and peeled Candace off her victim.
An utterly destroyed Dakota lay in the middle of the ring, barely breathing. Her arms splayed out. Her eyes closed, her face clammy with tit sweat, a line of drool dribbling out of one corner of her open mouth.
