Summary

Lizzy Rain has only had one televised match since arriving in WWE, but she is already thinking about championship gold in NXT.

Rain is scheduled for the May 12 episode of NXT, where she will team with Tatum Paxley against Zaria and Nikkita Lyons. Ahead of that match, Rain said the NXT Women's North American Championship is the next prize she wants to chase.

Quote from Lizzy Rain

Rain said she is excited by the chance to share the ring again with wrestlers she had already hoped to face:

"I'm so privileged to be in the ring with them [Tatum and Zaria], and then to get that, or kind of a rematch, I know it's a tag match, but to be in the ring again with Nikita, two people that I said I really wanted to face, and then someone I faced just two weeks ago is very cool. It's like, you know, the wrestling universe was really listening to me, which is very surreal."

Rain later went on to say:

"You know what it is the next goal North American Championship is the next goal. Why not, like, go big or go home? I'm loud, I'm unapologetic. I'm here to make an impact. So why not go for that belt?"

What Rain's Goal Means For Tatum Paxley's Title Picture

Rain naming Tatum Paxley's championship this early gives her May 12 tag match some extra weight. If Rain stands out alongside Paxley, Zaria, and Lyons, NXT has an easy way to keep her moving toward the title conversation.

It also fits the confident presentation Rain has been building in recent weeks, including her comments about the inspiration behind her entrance music in a recent interview. She is being framed as someone who wants to make noise quickly, and calling her shot at the NXT Women's North American Championship is the clearest sign of that yet.
