Despite the diagnosis, Hail’s post made no mention of any time away from WWE. She remains active and most recently competed on the August 18 episode of NXT, losing to Nattie after tapping to the Sharpshooter.
Hail also appeared at WWE EVOLVE the following day, August 19, challenging Nikkita Lyons for the Evolve Women’s Championship. Lyons won the match and retained the title.
