Izzi Dame Shares Heartfelt Reaction to Tatum Paxley’s WWE SmackDown Debut

Izzi Dame has reacted to former stablemate Tatum Paxley’s main roster debut.

As noted, Paxley made her SmackDown debut last night, taking out B-Fab and Michin during the main event match between Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill. This ultimately led to Flair’s victory, and following that, Paxley posed with The Queen and Alexa Bliss to establish a new alliance.

Earlier today, Izzi Dame reacted to Paxley’s main roster debut via social media. She wrote:

“Thank god?! Finally someone else’s problem to deal with??? Goodbye, farewell, adios, au revoir……………… But I ’m going to miss you so much. 🥲🖤🤞🏼”

On Instagram, Izzi reposted a reel in which she was seen passionately hugging Paxley after the latter informed her of her main roster call-up. She called Tatum her “wrestling soulmate,” “biggest hater,” and her “bestest friend.” In response, Tatum jokingly wrote, “Hmmm. This is ai.”

Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley share an extended history on NXT. They were part of The Culling alongside Shawn Spears and Niko Vance. However, Dame and Co. turned on Tatum following her NXT Women’s Championship defeat to Jacy Jayne at Gold Rush Week Two last year.

Paxley lost to Dame at Deadline, but she was able to exact her revenge by beating Izzi at New Year’s Evil.

She defeated Izzi at NXT Vengeance Day to capture the North American Championship, which the latter had won from Thea Hail in an Open Challenge at the same event. The rivalry ultimately ended on the March 17, 2026, episode of NXT, where Tatum retained the title in a Steel Cage Match.
