Thea Hail will compete on the July 18 episode of WWE NXT.
WWE announced that Hail will face Elektra Lopez in a singles match on the July 18 episode of WWE NXT. Hail came up short when she challenged Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women's Championship on the June 27 episode. But Andre Chase is confident that his star pupil could make the champion tap out in a rematch, and Hail will aim to gain momentum with a win over Lopez.
Lopez last wrestled on NXT TV on the June 6 episode; she came out on the losing end of a battle royal, which Hail ultimately won to earn a title shot.
