Women’s North American title rematch set for WWE NXT New Year’s Evil
A match for the Women’s North American title is set for the first NXT of 2026.
During Tuesday’s taped show, Thea Hail came out and celebrated her championship victory that took place one week ago. The disheveled former champion Blake Monroe interrupted and claimed Hail’s win was a fluke and mistake, demanding her title back. Hail refused but granted Monroe a rematch at New Year’s Evil. Monroe laid out Hail with a cheap shot in response and both women brawled around the ring until officials broke it up.
Hail inadvertently won the title last week during the final live edition of NXT of 2025. She went for a springboard senton and followed with a cover, but Monroe did not kick out before three as expected. After some initial confusion, NXT went ahead with the unplanned title change and awarded the match to Hail, who celebrated with the title.
Here is the updated lineup for New Year’s Evil:
NXT New Year’s Evil (January 6)
- NXT Championship: Oba Femi defends against Leon Slater
- NXT Women’s Championship: Jacy Jayne defends against Kendal Grey
- NXT Women’s North American Championship: Thea Hail defends against Blake Monroe
