Thea Hail Calls Out Toxic Backlash Over Botched NXT Women’s North American Title Win

TLDR

Thea Hail addressed the criticism surrounding her accidental NXT Women's North American Title win on December 16, 2025, during an appearance on Busted Open Radio After Dark, calling Twitter "really mean" and "very toxic" in response to the backlash. According to reports, Hail's victory resulted from an in-ring miscommunication with Blake Monroe, who was supposed to retain the title but had the wind knocked out of her, leading Hail to pin her before Monroe could recover. Hail later lost the title to Izzi Dame at New Year's Evil in early January, ending her brief reign that forced WWE to rework multiple segments and storylines.
