Izzi Dame Fires Back at Blake Monroe Ahead of NXT Title Segment

Online shots raise the stakes before Dame’s first promo as champion

Summary

– Izzi Dame and Blake Monroe trade personal insults ahead of NXT

– The exchange follows Dame’s title win at New Year’s Evil

– Tension now spills from social media onto Tuesday’s broadcast

Tensions around the NXT Women’s North American Championship escalated again after Izzi Dame and Blake Monroe reignited their rivalry online. The back-and-forth comes just days before Dame is scheduled to speak live on the January 13 episode of NXT.

WWE NXT announced that Dame would address the crowd in her first promo since winning the championship at New Year’s Evil. The announcement immediately drew a response from Dame, who aimed her comments at both Blake Monroe and Thea Hail while asserting ownership of the title.

Monroe responded quickly, calling into question Dame’s claim and referencing the title belt itself. The reply shifted the tone from playful to pointed, reopening wounds from Monroe’s controversial loss earlier this year.

Dame answered back with a sharper line, referencing Monroe’s failure to kick out during her match with Thea Hail. The comment turned the exchange personal and directly tied the insult to Monroe’s past defeat.

With Monroe currently sidelined by injury and Dame holding the championship, the online feud has become part of the ongoing storyline. WWE now appears ready to bring that tension fully onto television.

Tuesday’s NXT could determine whether the rivalry escalates further or pulls another competitor into the spotlight. Either way, the title picture remains unsettled.
