Rage in a Cage
Tatum Paxley vanquished Izzi Dame in a hard-hitting and personal Steel Cage Match. Dame attacked Paxley before the match could even begin, tossing her around the ringside area and bringing a steel chair inside the structure. Paxley ducked the initial steel chair shot, leading to increasingly violent strikes between the two.
The rivals found themselves perched on the very top of the cage, and it ended disastrously for the Champion as Dame launched her off of it with a Superplex. The challenger’s assault continued as she slammed Paxley into the walls of the cage, but she miraculously countered into a Code Red-esque move onto the steel chair. A dazed Dame was then left helpless as Paxley hit Cemetery Drive to retain her title.
After the bout, Blake Monroe appeared from under the stage and dragged Paxley down into the depths with her.
