    “I get on Twitter and I’m just scrolling the timeline and I see one of the posts saying AJ Lee wants to adopt Tatum Paxley. And I went, ‘What?’ And I ran to her page and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so glad I just saw this.’ It was an amazing way to wake up,” Paxley said.

    Meeting AJ Lee During WrestleMania Week

    Paxley revealed that she met AJ Lee in person for the first time during WrestleMania week, describing the encounter with CM Punk’s wife as a meaningful moment in her career.

    “I met her for the first time during Mania week. And I remember I saw her and Punk walking up and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is my first time meeting you!’ I’m hugging her and she was just so, so incredibly kind and so incredibly sweet,” Paxley said. “I just love that we get to have vets like that here. I’m so thankful that she’s back and she’s doing amazing. And to get recognized, noticed by her, it means the world. It just reminds me, okay, I’m doing my job, I’m doing good.”

    The NXT Women’s North American Champion also expressed interest in working with AJ Lee down the line.

    “I would love down the line that I could do more stuff with her because I think when you put two crazy chicks together, you’re gonna get some pretty cool stuff,” Paxley said.

    Casket Match Returning To WWE Next Week

    The casket match is back.

    Night 1 of the NXT Revenge special featured a backstage segment where Blake Monroe was told that her upcoming title match against Tatum Paxley will feature a stipulation of the champion’s choosing. General Manager Robert Stone later tracked down Paxley and asked if she had decided on a stipulation yet.

    The Women’s North American Champion said that she plans to lay Monroe to rest once and for all. Stone was still confused, but Shiloh Hill then rolled up with a casket, confirming the stipulation for their title match.

    Tatum has some experience in casket matches. The last time the stipulation was seen in the company was in 2024 when Paxley beat Wendy Choo. We’ve not seen the match on the main roster since 2018, when Undertaker beat Rusev at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

  • Tatum Paxley Dethrones Izzi Dame At NXT Vengeance Day

    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.

    Tatum Paxley Wins Gold

    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.
