On Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, the promotion held an NXT Women’s Championship number one contender battle royal with Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend, Elektra Lopez, Lola Vice, Tatum Paxley, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne, Cora Jade, Kiana James, Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, Fallon Henley, Yulisa Leon, Valentina Feroz, Brooklyn Barrow, Kelani Jordan, and Thea Hail.
The final three in the match was main roster star Dana Brooke, Jade, and Hail where Hail eliminated them both at the same time after being laid out only to enter the ring.
Because of this win, Hail has earned the right to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women’s Championship. As of this writing, it’s still unclear when the bout will happen.
Post-match, there was a celebration for Hail alongside several Chase U members. Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who are signed to WWE NIL deals, joined in on the celebration.
Hail, who is just 19 years old, noted on Twitter that she is now the youngest #1 contender in the history of the company. She signed with WWE NXT in 2021.
