Blake Monroe, formerly known as Mariah May, defended the NXT Women's North American Championship against Thea Hail last night on NXT. During the match, Monroe reportedly had the wind knocked out of her, and the referee counted to three during a botched spot, resulting in Hail unexpectedly becoming the new Women's North American Champion.

Monroe took to her official X account today to demand that WWE NXT make a change. NXT's X account has the finish to her match against Hail as its header, and Monroe demanded it be changed in a profane message today on social media.

"Change your f*** a** header @WWENXT," she wrote.

In a backstage interview following her victory, Hail revealed that she got very emotional after the match. The 22-year-old noted that she had been with the promotion since she was 18 and always wanted to win a title.

"Kelly, I've been crying for the past 25 minutes. I don't have any more tears to cry. I, me, Thea Hail your new Women's North American Champion. I've been here since I was 18. Can you believe it? I was in Chase U, I've had friends, I've not had friends, I've always wanted a championship and I've finally....I have done this today. Do you see? It says Blake Monroe. But, it's going to say Thea Hail pretty soon. Kelly, Kelly, do you believe this?" she said.

It was reported earlier today that there was a ton of backstage confusion following Hail's win on NXT. It will be fascinating to see how long the former Chase U member can hold onto the title moving forward.
