Summary

Tatum Paxley defeated Izzi Dame at NXT Vengeance Day to become the new NXT Women’s North American Champion.

The title change followed a feud rooted in Dame and The Culling turning on Paxley in November 2025 and costing her the NXT Women’s Championship at Gold Rush.

In January 2026, Dame also jumped in front of Paxley for Thea Hail’s open challenge, attacked Hail, and then won the Women’s North American Title herself.

Tatum Paxley winning the title closes a months-long revenge arc, because she overcame both the betrayal that cost her at Gold Rush and Dame’s earlier title-opportunity theft.
