There was reportedly a lot of backstage confusion following a surprising title win last night on WWE NXT. A title unexpectedly changed hands due to a botched finish during last night's show.

Thea Hail captured the NXT Women's North American Championship from Blake Monroe during last night's show, but it was not supposed to happen. According to a new report from Fightful Select, the finish to the NXT Women's North American Championship match last night did not go as planned.

A source disclosed to the publication that the botch happened at a bad time, as NXT was near the end of filming for the year ahead of the holiday break. Fightful's report noted that people were scrambling to try to make sense of things they had already filmed following the title change.

Blake Monroe reportedly had the wind knocked out of her, resulting in her not being able to kick out following Hail's move, but that could not be confirmed. The report added that an NXT higher-up suggested that this could lead to policy changes for talent and require them to be there until the end of tapings.
