Overview
- The referee completed a three-count after Hail’s springboard senton pin despite Monroe appearing to lift a shoulder, creating visible confusion on the broadcast.
- WWE’s telecast briefly cued Monroe’s music before switching to Hail’s, and later replays on TV affirmed the ruling in Hail’s favor.
- Fightful and Wrestling Observer report the outcome was unplanned and triggered a backstage scramble to adjust NXT creative.
- Monroe confronted Hail on air, blamed the referee, and posted that she was “screwed,” with no official rematch or reversal announced.
- Hail, 22, earned her first WWE singles title, and reports vary on Monroe’s reign length, listing approximately 51 to 53 days.
