In the grand, rowdy tradition of WWE NXT, Thea Hail took a page out of the ol’ political playbook, turning foes into fans, as she masterfully applied the Kimura Lock on Izzy Dame, making her tap faster than folks at a swing dance competition. At “NXT” Stand and Deliver, it was more than just a win; it was a statement – especially to her once BFF, now arch-nemesis, Jacy Jayne.
Hail, alongside Fallon Henley and Kelani Jordan, clinched victory but not without a soap opera’s worth of drama. Fallon, wearing a look that screamed “I just found out my lottery ticket was almost a winner,” showed a flicker of disappointment amidst the celebrations. The plot thickens, folks.
From the get-go, the match looked like a scene out of a high-stakes musical chairs contest, with Jayne, Dame, and Kiana James pouncing on the good guys like they were the last seats available. But Hail, fueled by what can only be described as an energy drink come to life, flipped the script with a move that sent Dame reeling and Jayne flying faster than my dog Champ chasing after a squirrel.
However, Hail’s enthusiasm might’ve been cranked a bit too high, leading to a misfired move that hit Chase U’s own Riley Osborne, giving Jayne’s crew a momentary upper hand. But in the world of WWE, it’s not over ’til the last move dazzles, and dazzle it did. Despite Jazmyn Nyx’s sneaky ringside antics, Hail locked in the Kimura on Dame, writing the final chapter of this nail-biter.
