Okay, so I’ve been following NXT for a while, and Thea Hail, man, she’s been on a wild ride. I wanted to put together my thoughts on this whole “heel turn” thing and how it all went down.
My Timeline of Thea’s Turn
It all started, I think, with that whole Chase U storyline.
-
The Beginning:Remember when she was just this super-excited, almost naive, freshman? Always cheering, always positive. I was rooting for her, even though she lost a lot at the beginning.
-
Andre Chase’s Influence: Then, she started training with Andre Chase and Duke Hudson. The whole “Chase U” thing was kinda goofy, but you could see Thea getting tougher, learning the ropes, and picking up some wins.
-
The Cracks Start to Show: I noticed things getting a bit shaky when she started getting frustrated with losses. It was subtle at first, little outbursts, blaming others. This is when I first thought “uh-oh… something is going on with her.”
-
Jacy Jayne: Then enter Jacy Jayne, she came and filled Thea’s head with a load of BS. Classic heel tactics. I was shaking my head, like, “Thea, don’t listen to her!” But, you know, it’s wrestling, drama is must be there.
-
The Full Turn: And the big moment, the actual turn, Thea attacked, Lyra. It was clear the direction she was heading, no longer little miss sunshine, full blown heel.
So yeah, that’s my take on the whole Thea Hail heel turn. It’s been a slow burn, but it makes sense, and I think it’s gonna be really interesting to see where she goes from here.
