At tonight’s WWE NXT New Year’s Evil special, Thea Hail vs. Blake Monroe for the NXT Women’s North American Championship was canceled due to Blake attacking Thea before the bell rang.
NXT General Manager Ava (The Rock’s daughter) announced that Blake will no longer get a title shot and was banned from the building.

Ava tweeted the following after banning Blake from the building: “pi$$ off @BlakeMonroeWWE”
This led to Blake replying: “don’t make me call daddy you power tripping nepo baby b*tch.”
