  • Unplanned Name Wins Women\’s North American Title At New Year\’s Evil

    An unexpected NXT crowning.

    Blake Monroe was originally scheduled to challenge Thea Hail for the NXT North American Championship at New Year\’s Evil tonight. This came after a botched finish last month, leading to Hail winning the title. The former Mariah May, however, ended up attacking Hail during her entrance.

    The match was then called off as Thea was taken backstage for a medical evaluation. General Manager Ava kicked Monroe out of the building. The reigning champion still wanted to defend her title, and she suggested an open challenge.

    The majority of the women\’s locker room emptied at ringside, trying to take advantage of the opportunity. Tatum Paxley then came out with a chainsaw to clear a path. Though Izzi Dame was sneaked into the ring by The Culling before Paxley, and she got the opportunity instead.

    The champion put up a good fight, but her earlier injury and the damage in the match proved too much. Izzi picked up the victory with a super-Dame, ending Hail\’s run with the title at just 22 days.
