At WWE SummerSlam, Bayley made her return from injury and she didn't come alone.
Bayley was flanked by Dakota Kai, who had been released in April, and IYO SKY (formerly Io Shirai), who had been injured since NXT Stand & Deliver. Bayley previously discussed how she wanted to do a faction for years and had brought the idea to Triple H.
Speaking to Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Dakota revealed that Bayley first approached her with the idea in 2018.
"Bayley has been talking to me about this idea for years now," Dakota said. "We were talking about when I was still in NXT, it was like 2018 when she first brought it up to me and then again at Evolution.We just kept like saying, 'This needs to happen, we want this to happen so bad,' and obviously the members changed but I was the constant. So I think it's very poetic that it happened at SummerSlam and that her idea that we've been talking about for so long finally happened on such a big stage and with IYO as well, it was an emotional moment for all of us that it finally happened."
Dakota & IYO were part of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tournament, which concluded on Monday's WWE Raw when Dakota & IYO battled Aliyah & Raquel Rodriguez.
