Tatum Paxley won the NXT Women\u2019s Championship over Jacy Jayne. However, things within The Culling haven\u2019t exactly been happy since then. Paxley wants every woman to get an opportunity to compete for the title, even defending it three nights later, which ended in a no-contest. Izzi Dame isn\u2019t happy about that, since she could easily lose the title if she isn\u2019t careful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the November 11, 2025, episode of NXT, Dame <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jHGi19eSdoY\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tried to talk some sense into her<\/a>, wanting her to be smart about giving others opportunities. Jayne came out and wanted a rematch, which Paxley granted for next week at NXT Gold Rush. Dame, however, didn\u2019t look pleased with that decision. Is she saying this to be Paxley\u2019s friend, or does she want her to fail so she could get the title herself potentially?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dame Truly Cares About Paxley\u2019s Reign\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Paxley arrived at the Performance Center in August 2021. She has spent the past four years working hard to get a championship opportunity. It came at Halloween Havoc, and she certainly didn\u2019t waste it. To the delight of the fans and The Culling, she became NXT Women\u2019s Champion. Dame saw how hard she had to work to make her dream come true. She isn\u2019t warning her about giving out title shots because she wants her to lose. Instead, she\u2019s saying this in support of her friend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Losing the title so soon after this monumental journey to get it in the first place would be a tragedy. Dame doesn\u2019t want to see Paxley go through that, which is why she\u2019s giving her that lecture. She wants to ensure she has a great title reign. Paxley deserves to be NXT Women\u2019s Champion, which is why Dame is looking out for her.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Wants to Become Champion Herself\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before winning the title, there was an odd sequence between Paxley and Dame. With the title in hand, Dame ran towards Paxley and Jayne. Paxley ducked, ensuring the title hit Jayne. That allowed her to win and capture the NXT Women\u2019s Championship. However, it was never confirmed who Dame was able to hit. Niko Vance and Shawn Spears celebrated with Paxley, but Dame stayed outside for a while. It was also noticeable that Dame wanted to persuade her to make smart choices. Jayne called her out, saying Paxley is the champion and not her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The tone and body language make it clear that she isn\u2019t happy with Paxley\u2019s behavior. She wants her to learn her lesson about giving out title shots, which is why a betrayal is coming sooner rather than later. For Paxley to take her current situation seriously, she\u2019ll have to face her, title or no title.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Will Happen Between the Two Stablemates?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Heading into next week\u2019s battle at NXT Gold Rush, Paxley is feeling confident. She thinks giving Jayne another shot at the NXT Women\u2019s Championship is the right decision. However, Dame didn\u2019t know her actions were the right thing to do, with her apprehension making sense. Paxley has gone on a long journey to become NXT Women\u2019s Champion finally. Four years of hard work finally paid off at Halloween Havoc. Losing the title so quickly would be terrible. But looking closely reveals Dame\u2019s rising anger at her behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_145955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145955\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-145955 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-23-1024x563.jpg\" alt=\"A WWE NXT graphic featuring Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley.\" width=\"640\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-23-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-23-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-23-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-23.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-145955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Her loss would be a lesson not to take a championship reign so lightly. It\u2019s clear that Dame isn\u2019t a fan of how she\u2019s conducting business. Betraying her sooner rather than later will teach her that being a champion isn\u2019t fun and games. Title or no title, a hard lesson learned will help Tatum Paxley in the long run.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
