Tatum Paxley holds up the Women's North American Championship as she celebrates with fans during an episode of "WWE NXT" following her win. - WWE Tatum Paxley is still "WWE NXT" Women's North American Champion after defeating Izzi Dame in a steel cage in the main event of Tuesday's show , live from Paxley's home state of Texas. Her next challenger for the gold was revealed at the very end of the night, however, when Blake Monroe popped up out of a trap door on the stage and drug Paxley through the opening.
Dame got the jump on the champion before the match even started. She battered Paxley around on the outside of the cage after Paxley made her way down to the ring. Dame smacked Paxley's head with the cage door before throwing her in the cage, and retrieved weapons from under the ring before getting entering the structure herself.
The women fought back-and-forth inside the cage, slamming one another against the walls and climbing like they were going to try and escape over the top. Paxley went to the top rope and rather than take down Dame, scaled the cage. Dame followed her, and they traded strikes perched atop the cage.
Dame smashed Paxley's face off the steel, then hit a superplex from the top rope. Dame hit Paxley with a chair and went for a powerbomb, but Paxley reversed the move, sending Dame crashing onto the chair instead. Paxley hit a Cemetery Drive onto the chair for the win.
