Thea Hail is back in action! After months away from the ring, the NXT star made her in-ring return at a WWE NXT live event in Lakeland, Florida on February 7th.
Hail went one-on-one with Jacy Jayne, stepping back into the squared circle for the first time since August 2024. Despite a strong effort, she came up short in the match, marking her first in-ring appearance since losing to Roxanne Perez in an NXT Womens Championship match at The Great American Bash in July 2024.
Throughout 2024, Hail remained a key part of Chase U, the faction that had fans rallying behind her as she climbed the ranks in NXT. However, the groups run came to an end in November 2024 after Andre Chase lost a crucial match to Ridge Holland, effectively disbanding the team.
Her return comes at an interesting time, with the NXT Womens division heating up and fresh opportunities on the horizon. Could this mark the beginning of Hails next big push?
