Charlotte Flair is really high on NXT 2.0's Dakota Kai.

The reigning SmackDown Women's Champion recently put Kai over big time during a Q&A for WWE Deutschland's Instagram page, and it seems Flair would love to see the NXT star make a splash on the company's main roster sometime soon.

Charlotte said she's "pulling" for Dakota, and thinks Kai will "surprise us" - "us" presumably being WWE's office, the female roster and the core fanbase. She reckons Raquel Gonzalez/Rodriguez' old tag-team partner on the third brand has all the tools to wow everyone on Raw or SmackDown in the near future.

It's surely only a matter of time before Kai gets the chance to do just that.

Like Raquel, she's done almost everything there is to do on NXT. Note the wording there though. "Almost". Dakota has yet to hold the NXT Women's Championship, and WWE might want to give her a run with that belt before moving Kai up the ladder.

Flair would enjoy a match or two vs. Dakota though, and said she could see herself "competing against" the NXT standout "for a singles title".
