What Tatum Paxley and Mason Rook bring to this card

Tatum Paxley's title defense gives the May 19 show immediate stakes, and Lizzy Rain now has a clear chance to break through in the Women's North American Championship picture after recently setting her sights on Paxley's title.

Mason Rook's first NXT match also puts extra attention on the undercard. Even in a tag setting, a debut like this usually tells viewers where NXT wants its newer talent slotted next.
