With back-to-back wins over Izzi Dame, the latter of which secured her the NXT Women’s North American Championship, Tatum Paxley seemed able to tackle fresh opponents in “WWE NXT.” Dame, nonetheless, had other plans.
During Paxley’s title celebration on tonight’s “NXT” episode, Dame got here out to the ring claiming that Paxley was still the identical outcast that walked into “NXT” years ago. Dame further asserted that everybody would soon see Paxley how she does: eager to slot in. Most significantly, though, Dame made it clear that she wanted the NXT Women’s North American Championship back immediately.
When Paxley tried to flee the ring, she as an alternative met Shawn Spears and Niko Vance, then Dame’s big boot. Putting an exclamation point on her statement, Dame then dropped Paxley with a powerbomb and raised the title she previously held.
Following the attack by the hands of her former friend, Paxley immediately sought Dame out, and with persistence, she found her. Backstage in a garage, Paxley ambushed Dame, prompting security guards to separate them. Amidst the chaos, “NXT” Interim General Manager Robert Stone then announced that they’d each have a chance to settle the rating when Paxley defends the NXT Women’s North American Championship against Dame in a Steel Cage Match, slated for next week’s “NXT” broadcast in Houston, Texas.
For Paxley, it would mark the primary title defense of her recent reign. For Dame, it would mark her official rematch, having lost the title to Paxley at “NXT” Vengeance Day on March 7.
