Tatum Paxley: I’m In No Rush To Get To RAW Or SmackDown, I Trust In Triple H’s Decision Entirely

Tatum Paxley says she is in no rush to get to RAW or SmackDown.

Tatum Paxley has been a member of the WWE NXT roster for several years now and recently captured the WWE NXT Women’s Championship before losing it back to Jacy Jayne on the November 18th edition of WWE NXT, sparking speculation that Paxley’s main roster callup could be sooner rather than later.

While speaking to the Battleground Podcast in an interview prior to this week’s WWE NXT, Tatum spoke about fans wanting to see her called up to RAW or SmackDown, with the former NXT Women’s Champion noting that she is in no rush to get to the main roster.

“So honestly, with social media, I try not to let the good things said or the bad things said mean- I try to not let it really mean much to me, even if it is positive, and of course, it’s great to see and to know that people are rooting for me. But the real test of people are rooting for me is when I step in front of them live. Can I get their reaction live, and on social media, like the way that I feel, I feel comfortable. Whenever my time comes to be on Raw or SmackDown, I trust when Triple H sees the perfect time, I trust in his decision entirely. I’m in no rush to get to Raw or SmackDown, but I’m super excited to be there. But I’m super comfortable here in NXT as well. I just know wherever I am, I’m gonna try to connect to that audience. So when I see it online, of course, it makes me feel like, ‘okay, I’m doing my job. People wanna see me take that next step.’ But I just kind of put it entirely up to the reactions that I get live.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Tatum spoke about how her partnership with Lyra Valkyria helped her connect with fans. You can read more about that here.
