Thea Hail shocked the pro wrestling world when she beat Blake Monroe for the NXT Womens North American Title. This was such a shock, it wasnt even a part of the plan. Backstage reaction to Thea Hails title win is starting to come to light, and it sounds like almost nobody saw it coming.
During an interview with Going Ringside, Kendal Grey was asked about the change in the NXT Womens Division after Thea Hail defeated Blake Monroe for the title. When the topic came up, Grey made it clear the locker room was caught off guard.
Kendal Greys response painted a picture of a locker room that didnt have much time to process what happened. After all, this happened on live television. It wasnt something people were predicting ahead of time, so the response was rather organic.
The reaction backstage in NXT wasnt split, because pretty much everyone saw the same thing and was very surprised. It was a shocking scene across the board. She made it clear that while people respect both wrestlers, but that result still landed out of nowhere.
A rematch is already coming up for Blake Monroe, so only time will tell how NXT handles this situation. A strong fan reaction toward Thea Hail could really do her some favors. Obviously, this is a very unique situation in the pro wrestling world.
