Tatum Paxley wins Women’s North American title at WWE NXT Vengeance Day

A new North American Women’s Champion has been crowned.

Tatum Paxley defeated her former friend Izzi Dame to win the championship for the first time. The finish had Dame going for a codebreaker but Paxley countered by hitting a cartwheel. An unaware Dame then walked into a running kick by Paxley who then finished the job by pinning Dame with the cemetery drive for the win.

Dame had been champion since January, defeating Thea Hail at New Year’s Evil. Earlier on that show, Paxley had defeated Dame and was looking to challenge Hail, who had an open challenge for the title after Blake Monroe was thrown out of the building. But Dame entered the ring first and challenged instead, defeating Hail to win the title.

Over the course of the last several weeks, Paxley has appeared via vignettes saying a new version of herself would be seen at Vengeance Day. Dame, meanwhile, dismissed the idea, saying the same old Paxley would show up. The two split months ago after Dame turned against Paxley, costing her the NXT Women’s Championship.

New match & stipulation added to WWE NXT Vengeance Day

A match and a new stipulation has been added to NXT Vengeance Day. 

Jaida Parker and Blake Monroe’s face-to-face ended in a confrontation on Tuesday, leading Parker to stand tall. Later in the show, Monroe emerged by the announcer’s table and told Parker she did bring the hell out of her and said this would end at Vengeance Day in a Street Fight.

The two have been feuding since last month, with their first match ended in a double countout and with Monroe injuring Parker’s neck. On last week’s NXT, Parker returned and attacked Monroe, costing her a Speed tournament match against Thea Hail.

Throughout Tuesday’s show, DarkState looked to go after Tony D’Angleo, who cost them the NXT Tag Team titles. Tony D finally confronted Dion Lennox in the crowd, saying the hunter has become the hunted. He blamed Lennox for his downfall last year and while he might have killed that man, he’s returned as a more dangerous person. D’Angelo challenged him to a match at Vengeance Day, saying after he beats Lennox he will have completed one of the two goals he has set out for himself since making his return.

After Sol Ruca came out and interrupted the NXT Women’s Championship match between Zaria and Jacy Jayne, Robert Stone said he would have a decision about the NXT Women’s Championship at Vengeance Day. Ruca laid out both women with the sol snatcher, leading to no winner in their title match.
