Thea Hail is set to face Zaria for the Women’s North American Championship on next week’s episode of WWE NXT. After losing the title to Izzi Dame just 21 days into her initial reign in January, Hail has been eager to reclaim the championship. Recently, she teamed up with the new AAA Reina de Reinas Champion La Catalina to take on the current titleholder Zaria and NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan. Hail secured the victory for her team by pinning Zaria, earning herself a shot at the singles title in the upcoming show.
Zaria is currently 106 days into her reign as champion after defeating Tatum Paxley in June. She unified the North American title with the Women’s Speed Championship at Heatwave, marking her fourth successful defense. Hail and Zaria have only faced each other once before in a singles match, where Hail pulled off an upset victory. Their first encounter was at last year’s Stand & Deliver in a ladder match for the vacant North American title, which neither won as Sol Ruca eventually claimed it.
Fan Take: This matchup highlights the rising talent in women’s wrestling and adds significant momentum to WWE NXT’s women’s division. A victory for Thea Hail could signal a fresh era of competition and keep fans invested in the evolving storylines of the sport.
