Summary

Crowbar said he sees the resemblance between Shiloh Hill and Tatum Paxley and the old Crowbar and Daffney pairing, calling the comparison a compliment and saying he likes what the two are doing together.

He shared that reaction on social media after hearing from people in wrestling and from fans who asked what he thought of the duo. Crowbar added that he believes Daffney would have appreciated the act as well.

The comparison has picked up attention because Hill and Paxley bring a similarly chaotic presentation, with Paxley already established in NXT as the reigning Women's North American Champion. That title picture was pushed forward again recently when Paxley was set for a casket match with Blake Monroe.

Crowbar's reaction to the NXT duo

Crowbar said the pairing makes him smile and that he enjoys watching Hill and Paxley together. He also gave them his blessing publicly.

The story carries extra weight because Daffney died in September 2021, which made Crowbar's comment about what she might have thought stand out to longtime fans who remember that WCW act.

What this could mean for Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill in NXT

Crowbar's endorsement does not change anything on screen by itself, but it does show that Hill and Paxley's presentation is connecting strongly enough for fans to link it to a memorable act from a different era.

For Paxley in particular, that kind of reaction helps reinforce her current character while she continues her title run. If WWE keeps leaning into that energy, the duo could become an even more distinct part of NXT television beyond Paxley's championship programs.

Social media

After Crowbar shared his thoughts, Hill responded enthusiastically, and Crowbar replied with more praise for both Hill and Paxley.
