First Match:
Blake Monroe (c) vs. Thea Hail
WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship
Thea Hail explodes out of the gate, immediately hunting Monroe’s arm and looking to end things early with submission attempts. Monroe survives the early storm and begins targeting Hail’s upper body, grounding her with repeated strikes and shoulder-focused offense.
Hail repeatedly fights back with bursts of energy, connecting with high-impact strikes and suplexes to keep Monroe on edge. Monroe slows the pace again with submission holds and short-arm strikes, keeping Hail trapped for long stretches.
In the closing moments, Hail finds an opening, fires up, and connects with a springboard senton to score the three-count. Replays reveal Monroe may have gotten a shoulder up, but the decision stands.
Winner and NEW WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion: Thea Hail via Pinfall
