A new champion was crowned at NXT Vengeance Day as Tatum Paxley defeated Izzi Dame to capture the NXT Women’s North American Championship for the first time in her career.

The match carried extra tension because the two competitors were once close allies before their partnership fell apart months ago. Their rivalry came to a head at Vengeance Day, where Paxley finally secured a major victory over her former friend.

The finish came after Izzi Dame attempted to put Paxley away with a codebreaker. Paxley avoided the move by countering with a cartwheel, creating an opening in the process. Dame was caught off guard and walked directly into a running kick from Paxley. With the challenger gaining momentum, Paxley followed up with her finishing move, the Cemetery Drive, before pinning Dame to win the championship.

The victory marks Paxley’s first reign as NXT Women’s North American Champion and represents one of the biggest moments of her career in WWE NXT.

In the weeks leading up to Vengeance Day, Paxley appeared in several video segments where she teased the arrival of a new version of herself. She claimed that fans would see a different side of her when she stepped into the ring at the premium live event.

Their rivalry stems from a betrayal that occurred months earlier when Dame turned against Paxley and cost her the NXT Women’s Championship. That moment ended their alliance and set the stage for their feud.

At Vengeance Day, Paxley finally got the last word by defeating Dame and leaving the event as the new NXT Women’s North American Champion.
