NXT kicked off with the NXT Women’s Champion, Tatum Paxley, who came to the ring accompanied by The Culling. Paxley began by stating that when she hears her name as the NXT Women’s Champion. Tatum then says she could hear it over and over again.
Tatum then says if she wants to hear that, she has to start listening to her friends. Tatum then says it did not go the way she wanted last week. Tatum then says they were fighting and they were dancing and they got away. Tatum then says you were trying to protect her and it was her fault they lost. Tatum then says Izzi forgave her because that is what friends do.
Izzi then says she wants what is best for Tatum. Izzi then says they know how long she fought to get here and be the champion. Izzi then says if you want to continue to be the goofy dancing champion, she has to stop giving matches to everyone who walks through the door.
The segment was interrupted by Fatal Influence, led by Jacy Jayne. Jayne told Tatum that she needs to be a fighting champion and give her a rematch to prove her win wasn’t a fluke. Izzi Dame then said Tatum is not falling for this. However, Jacy Jayne told Tatum she needs to think about how she will be remembered as a champion and needs to give her a title match.”
With all been said and done, Paxley announced that she is granting Jacy her rematch at NXT Gold Rush next Tuesday, making the NXT Women’s Championship match official.
