Paxley Claims North American Title in Thrilling Bout

Tatum Paxley’s journey to becoming a dual champion continued as she defeated Izzi Dame to capture the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

Dame attempted to wear Paxley down with a series of punishing moves, including a Boston Crab and a Liontamer, but Paxley consistently fought back.
