In a recent appearance on Sirius XM’s Off The Ropes, WWE Superstar Tatum Paxley discussed her unexpected rise to Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Alexa Bliss. Here are the key moments from the interview (via Fightful):
On Achieving Her Dreams
“Everything I’m accomplishing now is something I never could have envisioned. Years ago—over five years back—I was working at a supplement store, propped up my phone against a computer, and spent time watching her matches on YouTube. I remember thinking, ‘This looks incredibly fun. I’d love to try this someday.’ Now, here I am, having faced her in the ring and standing as her champion on SmackDown.”
On Unexpected Manifestation
“Looking back, I realize that watching those matches was essentially me manifesting this entire journey without even knowing it. I’m deeply grateful and blessed for where I am today. When I held those titles up in Lafayette and looked over at Alexa Bliss while seeing all the fans and hearing the pyrotechnics—the first time I’d experienced that—I was completely overwhelmed. It felt incredibly surreal, like a dream come true.”
Paxley and Bliss defeated Fatal Influence to claim the Women’s Tag Team Championships on the previous episode of WWE SmackDown.
