Paxley didn’t go down easy. It took three spears and two F5’s by Zaria to get the pin. Zaria has been chasing the North American Title since 2025’s Stand & Deliver where the gold became a focal point between herself and Sol Ruca
As for Paxley, she is one of only two women in history to hold both the NXT Women’s North American Title and the NXT Women’s Title. The other being Stephanie Vaquer.
