As per the video, the world title match between Iyo Sky and Bayley featured Dakota Kai as the special guest referee. Ironically, Dakota Kai was the third member of Damage CTRL and the second protégé under Bayley’s leadership. The trio debuted in July 2022 at Summer Slam. But why is the video relevant?

Well, it may indicate that the match between Royal Rumble winners will have a special guest referee. For now, we know that Dakota Kai will not be that special guest referee since she turned on Iyo Sky. Now, Dakota Kai has joined hands with Bayley and we may see her in Bayley’s corner during the match.
