WWE Raw star Lyra Valkyria has reacted to her tag team partner Bayley teaming with Tatum Paxley at last night’s WWE NXT live event.
Lyra Valkyria and Bayley begun forming their tag team back in the Summer during Lyra’s rivalry with Becky Lynch, with the pair becoming a full tag team over the past few months.
Prior to Lyra’s call up to the WWE main roster back in 2024, she spent part of her time in NXT teaming with Tatum Paxley, with her still sometimes returning to NXT to reunite with Tatum over the past year.
On this week’s WWE NXT show, it was announced that WWE Raw stars Bayley, Grayson Waller and Penta would be part of this weekend’s NXT live events, which saw Waller face off against Myles Borne, while Penta teamed with Jaida Parker and Hank & Tank against the Vanity Project & Myka Lockwood.
Lyra Valkyria Reacts To Bayley & Tatum Paxley’s New Alliance
Bayley would part of a six-woman tag team match, teaming with Tatum Paxley and Kendal Grey to face off against Kelani Jordan, Zaria and Nikkita Lyons.
Taking to social media, Bayley shared a photo of herself, Kendal and Tatum at the NXT live event, prompting a reaction from Lyra.
She simply wrote:
I can’t believe my tag partner stole my tag partner
Tatum Paxley captured the NXT Women’s North American Championship from Izzi Dame back at NXT Vengeance Day, with her becoming only the second woman to hold both the Women’s North American Championship and the NXT Women’s Championship after Stephanie Vaquer, who held both the titles simultaneously.
Tatum Paxley’s WWE Main Roster Call Up Coming Soon?
Following the recent wave of WWE NXT call ups, Tatum Paxley is now one of the top stars of the NXT women’s division, with her reigning as the North American Champion.
With Tatum set for a defence against Lizzy Rain on next week’s NXT show, we could see the Maiden of Metal capture a championship in NXT in very short order, which would be a good sign for Tatum’s potential main roster plans.
It was recently reported that WWE was potentially considering more NXT call ups, primarily from the women’s division, in the coming months, with Tatum likely among those names, as well as names like NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan.
