A WWE star’s brand switch has now officially been confirmed following their main roster call up after SummerSlam.

Following WWE SummerSlam, NXT star Tatum Paxley made her main roster debut, when she came to the aid of Charlotte Flair alongside the returning Alexa Bliss against Jade Cargill, Michin & B-Fab.

Tatum made her SmackDown in-ring debut against Michin on last week’s show, with her set to team with Charlotte and Alexa against Jade, Michin and B-Fab at Sunday Night’s Main Event next weekend.

Tatum Paxley Added To WWE SmackDown

Following Tatum’s in-ring debut on SmackDown, she has now officially been moved to the WWE SmackDown roster on the company’s official website.

Her description reads:

Since day one, Tatum Paxley has embraced being the outcast. 

After several stints of trying to fit in, Paxley finally embraced her misfit side and she began to see success in the ring as a direct result.

The peculiar Paxley is often seen backstage playing with her creepy dolls that seem to resemble her fellow NXT Superstars and it’s because of this that she’s developed a hyper fixation on Superstars like Lyra Valkyria, Gigi Dolin, Shotzi and others.

Tatum, or Tater as Valkyria calls her, finally found a home in The Culling alongside Shawn Spears, Niko Vance and Izzi Dame, and that boosted her to winning the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Halloween Havoc 2025. 

Paxley’s behavior teeters on the line of playful and harmful depending on what kind of mood she’s in so act accordingly when you see her. 

Another Match Added To Sunday Night’s Main Event?

With the show set to take place this weekend, we currently have four matches announced for Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta.

WWE tends to run five matches at it’s premium live events, so we could see one more match announced for the show before the end of the week.

Lil Yachty vs. Baron Corbin comes with the stipulation that Trick earns the right to challenge for Corbin’s United States Championship later in the night, which would technically be the fifth match on the card.

WWE has also announced that rapper Quavo will be appearing on the show to perform an unreleased song to kick off the night, which would use up time on the show.
