Fans Rally Behind NXT Star for Taking a Page Out of Brock Lesnar’s Playbook to Make Her Opponent Learn Things “The Hard Way”

The latest edition of NXT was nothing short of spectacular, as the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins accepted Bron Breakker’s challenge. In addition, the show was filled with action-packed matches. One of the most interesting matches during the show saw a female talent paying tribute to The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. The star in question is The Spartan Warrior, Thea Hail.

Thea Hail went head-to-head with Cora Jade. While Jade gained control of the match from the bell, a distraction from Dana Brooke allowed Thea Hail to capitalize. During the closing moments of the match, Thea Hail used the Kimura lock, made famous by Brock Lesnar in WWE, to pick up the win via submission.

Fans praise Thea Hail for taking a page out of Brock Lesnar’s book during her match

The Kimura lock is one of the deadliest weapons in Brock Lesnar’s arsenal. The Beast Incarnate introduced the submission move in WWE after he made his return from UFC. The Kimura Lock, when synched in properly, is impossible to break from. Once locked in, the recipient is at the mercy of the attacker. Thea Hail taking a page out of Lesnar’s book on NXT was highly appreciated by the fans.

It looks like Thea Hail just got a new moniker! Brock Lesnar was named, “The Beast Incarnate”, during the second run of his WWE career. Lesnar made his groundbreaking return, rag-dolling his opponents and breaking arms.

Although Thea Hail won the match with a little assist from Dana Brooke, the Kimura Lock became the high point of their entire match.

While some fans admired Thea Hail’s performance, others are concerned about Cora Jade’s longstanding losing streak. Nevertheless, after what transpired, it’s conspicuous that Cora Jade will pursue Dana Brooke to exact her revenge.

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently stated that Rhodes needs to work more with Brock Lesnar to legitimize his status as the future Champion.

Rhodes gained a rare win over Brock Lesnar at Backlash. But, he wasn’t able to get a clean pinfall win by incapacitating Brock Lesnar.

While speaking on Foley is Pod, Mick Foley stated that it is “important” for Cody Rhodes to defeat Brock Lesnar. He said, “I think it’s important that the title not go to Cody because I think what Cody is going through in this series Brock Lesnar is giving him the credential, so that when he does — and I think there will definitely be a moment where he becomes that guy, everyone will feel like he deserved it,”
