The recent NXT episode was a great one for Ava Raine, the elder daughter of Dwayne Johnson. As the first-ever fourth-generational star Raine found victory in her match with her partner, The Dyad, against Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers. However, while the 21-year-old got her first win, another NXT star two years younger than her had a moment with Shawn Michaels for her major win. 

The 19-year-old Thea Hail won the #1 Contender’s Women’s Battle Royal on the recent NXT episode. After the win, HBK had a moment with her for the biggest moment of her career until now.
