The NXT Women’s North American title will be on the line on the NXT New Year’s Evil episode with Thea Hail defending against former champion Blake Monroe.
Hail won the title last week thanks to a botch when Monroe failed to kick out before the count of three and the referee proceeded with the count. Hail was never penned to win the title but Monroe reportedly had the wind knocked out of her after taking a springboard senton from Hail, resulting in the inadvertent victory for Hail.
The young Hail had a victory celebration on yesterday’s episode of NXT but she was interrupted by Monroe, who demanded a title rematch after she said Hail’s win was just a mistake. Both women eventually ended up brawling the end the segment.
