Dakota Kai has shared her support for her Damage CTRL ally Kairi Sane following criticism by WWE Hall of Famer & AEW correspondent Mark Henry.
At WWE WrestleMania 40, Sane, Kai, and Asuka lost to Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Jade Cargill. During the entrance for the faces, Sane remained in the ring a few seconds longer than Asuka and Kai. You can check out hew delayed exit from the ring in the video clip below.
On Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry shared that he was livid watching WrestleMania 40 when he saw Sane taking slightly too long to exit the ring for his liking. The World\'s Strongest Man even went as far as to say the Pirate Princess had shown a level of disrespect to the wrestling business.
\"She should have got out the f*cking ring. I was so mad. You got to respect the business first. And she didn’t, but she would if I would have been in the ring.
In a tweet, Dakota Kai didn\'t address Henry\'s comments directly but made it clear that she supports Sane who has a deep respect for the wrestling business. The former WWE NXT Women\'s Champion responded by she loves and respects Kai and was thankful for everything her Damage CTRL ally has done for her.

In a follow-up tweet, Kai added that she wanted to focus on positivity moving forward. She again did not mention Henry by name.

Ultimately, Sane would not have intended to have come across as disrespectful and it appears only Henry felt her actions at WrestleMania were out of line. In the comments, many supported Sane and some pointed out times that Henry has remained in the ring during the entrance of opponents.
