Tatum Paxley has arrived on the main roster, making her debut to help Charlotte Flair defeat Jade Cargill on this week’s WWE Smackdown. Friday night’s show saw Flair battle Cargill in the main event. Flair found herself outnumbered late in the 13 minute-plus match as B-Fab and Michin showed up to try and helping Cargill get the win.

The Baddies distracted the referee as Flair had Cargill in a Figure Eight, allowing Cargill to break the hold. Alexa Bliss then came out to the entrance way with her arm in a sling and her Lilly doll. The lights then went out and when they came back, Paxley was present and she leaped off the ringpost to take out Michin and B-Fab. Flair then hit a Sister Abigail and then went up top for a Natural Selection off the turnbuckle and the pinfall victory.

The three babyfaces then celebrated together to end the show. You can see clips from the WWE Smackdown match below. Paxley is a former NXT Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s North American Champion. She last competed on WWE TV during the June 30th episode of WWE NXT, where she lost a match to Kelani Jordan.
