Thea Hail advances in WWE NXT Speed tournament
Thea Hail has done it and qualified for the next round of the WWE NXT Speed tournament.
On Tuesday, during the February 24th episode of WWE NXT, Hail faced off against long-time nemesis Blake Monroe in the NXT Speed tournament. In the short but interesting match, Hail reigned supreme after she defeated Monroe to qualify.
However, the win came after Jaida Parker, previously reported to be injured, interfered and caused Monroe to lose the match.
The match began with Hail charging and attacking Monroe even before the bell rang. Hail continued to dominate the match and maintain pressure before Parker interfered and hit her, causing Hail to take advantage and secure the win.
With her victory tonight, Hail has booked herself against the winner of a future Wren Sinclair vs. Nikkita Lyons match.
Additionally, Hail and Monroe’s history goes back a long way. Last year, in December 2025, Hail had defeated Monroe after hitting her with a springboard senton and a botched referee count.
