Tatum Paxley

Tatum Paxley is an American professional wrestler best known for her work in WWE. She began wrestling for WWE NXT in 2022 and spent the early part of her NXT career alongside Ivy Nile and Diamond Mine before developing the darker, unpredictable character that became a larger part of her presentation.

Paxley’s character has often included an obsession with other wrestlers and the use of dolls modeled after members of the NXT roster. Her storylines included relationships with Lyra Valkyria, Gigi Dolin, and Shotzi before she joined The Culling with Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, and Izzi Dame.

Her first major singles championship came at Halloween Havoc in October 2025, where she defeated Jacy Jayne to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

Paxley later feuded with former Culling partner Izzi Dame and defeated her at Vengeance Day in March 2026 to win the NXT Women’s North American Championship, making her a champion in both of NXT’s women’s singles divisions. She held the North American title until June 2026, when Zaria defeated her for the championship.

Paxley uses an unorthodox in-ring style that combines mat wrestling, athletic offense, and high-risk moves. Cemetery Drive has become one of her main finishing moves, while her unusual mannerisms and unpredictable character have remained a major part of her presentation.

In August 2026, Paxley made her first appearance on WWE’s main roster during SmackDown, emerging alongside the returning Alexa Bliss and helping Charlotte Flair during her match with Jade Cargill.
