Tatum Paxley had a triumphant outing against her former friend Izzi Dame, and she clinched the NXT Women\’s North American title for the first time at NXT Vengeance Day.
In the final moments of the match, Dame attempted a codebreaker, but Paxley managed to counter by doing a cartwheel. Dame then walked into a running kick by Paxley, who then pinned Dame with the cemetery drive for the victory.
Over the last few weeks, Paxley made appearances through vignettes and said that a new version of herself would emerge at NXT Vengeance Day.
However, Dame ignored the idea, saying the same old Paxley would show up. The duo had parted ways months ago as Dame turned her back on Paxley, costing her the NXT Women’s Championship.
Dame had held the Women\’s North American title around her waist since January. She won the title by beating Thea Hail at New Year’s Evil. Earlier on that show, Paxley had defeated Dame and was aiming to challenge Hail, who had an open challenge for the North American title. However, Dame entered the ring first and challenged instead, defeating Hail to win the title.
With the victory, Tatum Paxley has gained long-awaited revenge against Izzi Dame. The win marked a turning point for Paxley, proving that the new version she promised heading into NXT Vengeance Day was very real.
Now standing atop the division with gold around her waist, Paxley will look to establish her reign as champion while a disappointed Dame is likely far from finished with her former friend.
Multiple matches have been announced for NXT Vengeance Day.
This week\’s episode of the development show saw Darkstate\’s Dion Lennox calling out Tony D’Angelo. A match for the upcoming PPV was confirmed after some back and forth. Towards the ending of the segment, Lennox told D’Angelo that their fight would start in the parking lot, and Tony said that he\’d drag Dion\’s lifeless body to the ring so he can beat him in front of everyone.
Elsewhere in the show, Blake Monroe had another heated confrontation with Jaida Parker, which turned violent, with multiple locker room members having to stop the two from brawling. It was confirmed after this that the upcoming match between the two will now be a street fight.

Match Previews
NXT Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs. Ricky Saints
Joe Hendry captured the vacant NXT Title on February 3 by winning a seven-man Ladder Match — a match that also featured Saints. The moment Hendry\’s music hit with the gold, Saints made his displeasure violently clear, attacking Hendry post-match and issuing a direct challenge for Vengeance Day. Hendry accepted.
Hendry has been one of NXT\’s most organically over talents, having crossed over from TNA to become a genuine fan favorite on the WWE brand. For Saints, this is a chance at redemption — he was in that ladder match, came up short, and now wants what he believes he deserves. Expect this one to be the emotional centerpiece of the night.
NXT Women\’s North American Championship: Izzi Dame (c) vs. Tatum Paxley
This is a feud built on betrayal. Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley were once teammates in The Culling, making their current rivalry all the more bitter. Dame has been on a dominant roll — costing Paxley the NXT Women\’s Title before defeating Thea Hail to capture the North American Championship. Paxley issued the challenge for the title match, and Dame accepted.
The personal history between these two gives this match a different kind of heat than most title bouts. Paxley\’s obsessive intensity makes her a dangerous challenger, and Dame has shown she can back up her attitude with results in the ring.
NXT Underground Match: Lola Vice vs. Kelani Jordan
The bad blood between Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan traces back to October 2025, when Jordan represented TNA at the NXT vs. TNA Showdown. That drew the wrath of NXT loyalists like Vice, who branded Jordan a traitor to the brand. Things escalated when Jordan broke Vice\’s hand during their ongoing battles, leading Vice to demand an NXT Underground Match — no disqualifications, anything goes.
The Underground stipulation plays into Vice\’s striking background, but Jordan has shown she can match the intensity. This one promises to get physical in a hurry.
Stay tuned to SEScoops.com for live results, match recaps, and post-event fallout this weekend.
The first matches have been confirmed for NXT Vengeance Day.
This week\’s episode of the development show saw the NXT Champion Joe Hendry attacking Ricky Saints in the parking lot during the opening segment of the night.
The two stars then had a promo battle later on, where Saints called Hendry a meme champion. The former AEW star confirmed that the Vengeance Day PPV will be taking place on March 7. Saints went on to challenge Joe Hendry for the NXT title at the show and the former TNA star accepted the match.
Elsewhere in the episode, a vignette featuring The Culling\’s Izzi Dame, Shawn Spears & Niko Vance aired. The video package confirmed another match for the upcoming event, where Dame will defend her Women\’s North American Championship against Tatum Paxley.
Vengeance Day last year took place in Washington, D.C., but the company is yet to announce the venue and other details of the show this year.
