Tatum Paxley WWE Main Roster Debut Plans

On the June 9 edition of WWE NXT, Zaria defeated Tatum Paxley to win the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

After this loss, Paxley was seen saying farewell to the NXT fans, seemingly on her way to the main roster.

With Paxley finally about to start her run on Raw or SmackDown, it will be interesting to see what plans are in place for Tatum’s arrival on the WWE main roster.

Here are seven potential Tatum Paxley WWE main roster debut plans.

7. Reunion with Lyra Valkyria

During their time on WWE NXT together, Tatum Paxley and Lyra Valkyria formed a partnership that led to a friendship with one another.

Being Tatum’s one true friend from NXT, Valkyria has appeared several times on the brand since heading to the main roster in 2024 just to see Paxley.

Now in 2026, Valkyria finds herself teaming with Bayley in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship picture, while Paxley will be looking to make an immediate impact on this next stage of her career.

Valkyria opening the door for Paxley on Monday Night Raw would be a compelling story to tell with the different dynamics with these two and Bayley moving forward.

6. Joining The Judgment Day

If Tatum Paxley is heading to Monday Night Raw, there might not be a better spot for her quite like The Judgment Day.

Liv Morgan is the current WWE Women’s World Champion, while Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez are always top contenders for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Joining the numbers in The Judgment Day for Paxley works to better position them as a major threat and force in the women’s division.

Based on looks alone, Paxley fits the aesthetics of The Judgment Day and could stand with the rest of the members quite well upon her debut on WWE Raw.

5. Rekindling rivalry with Blake Monroe

In 2026, Tatum Paxley captured the NXT Women’s North American Championship and went on a remarkable run with the title.

One of Paxley’s most notable feuds of this run was with none other than Blake Monroe.

Over the past few weeks, Monroe has been teasing her arrival on Friday Night SmackDown in a series of vignettes.

Paxley taking the spotlight from Monroe’s debut would be a fun way to continue their rivalry and introduce the main roster to both characters on the blue brand.

4. Joining forces with Fatal Influence

On the April 24 WWE SmackDown After WrestleMania 42, Fatal Influence made their main roster debut.

Since then, Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid have showcased what made them one of the most dominant factions on NXT over the past year.

In the midst of these stars taking over SmackDown, Tatum Paxley could steal some of their shine or potentially join their cause.

While she doesn’t fit in with the attitude and bravado of the group, Fatal Influence could use Paxley to their advantage and have this faction grow in numbers.

3. Face Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s United States Championship

Tiffany Stratton finds herself with gold once again as the reigning WWE Women’s United States Champion.

With the amount of talent now on the SmackDown roster, Stratton has started to hold open challenges for her title.

Tatum Paxley using one of these open challenges to make her debut would be an immediate way to cement her on the WWE main roster.

Having a showcase match with Stratton would give Paxley instant attention as she makes the move to the main roster full-time.

2. Challenging Sol Ruca for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

At WWE Clash In Italy 2026, Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Now that she is the champion, Ruca has stated that she will not back down from any challenge that comes her way.

Tatum Paxley is no stranger to Ruca from their time together on the WWE NXT brand, but it would be a bold statement for the former NXT Women’s North American Champion to step up and challenge for a title in her debut.

Ruca defending the title against Paxley would be helpful to both women, putting them directly in the spotlight as featured stars on the main roster.

1. Stepping up to Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World Championship

On the April 20 WWE Raw After WrestleMania 42, Liv Morgan defeated Sol Ruca in Ruca’s official main roster debut on the red brand.

Since winning the title at Mania, Morgan has yet to defend the WWE Women’s World Championship during this reign.

With no one willing to step up to the plate, Paxley could use this to her advantage to challenge Morgan and might walk out as champion as a result.

Paxley challenging Morgan for the WWE Women’s World Championship could see her repeating the feat by Paige back in 2014 by winning a world title on her debut.
