Will Ospreay, the former AEW International Champion, recently shared his enthusiasm about seeing Charlie—better known as former WWE Superstar Dakota Kai—compete in All Elite Wrestling. Ospreay’s public support comes shortly after Kai’s return to professional wrestling following a year-long break.
Dakota Kai Makes In-Ring Comeback at Pro-Wrestling: EVE Event
Competing under the ring name Charlie, Dakota Kai resumed wrestling at Pro-Wrestling: EVE’s Wrestle Queendom VIII event held at The O2 in London, United Kingdom. In her first match in over a year, she challenged Kris Statlander for the EVE International Championship but was unable to capture the title. This marked her first match since last March, when she faced Ivy Nile in a WWE Main Event taping before her release from WWE two months later.

Will Ospreay, who also works as a producer and creative team member for Pro-Wrestling: EVE, responded directly to a fan’s query on social media about whether Dakota Kai should appear in AEW. He replied simply but clearly, “Yes!” demonstrating his support for her possible move to the promotion.
