WWE star AJ Lee has praised current NXT Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley, branding her ‘the coolest’.
Since making her return to WWE after a decade away back in September, AJ Lee has gotten accustomed to the current WWE women’s roster, facing off against names such as Becky Lynch and Bayley.
As well as the current roster, AJ also has her eyes on the future of the division, with stars such as Roxanne Perez already under her wing.

AJ Lee Taking Time Away From WWE Following WrestleMania 42?
At WrestleMania 42, the rivalry between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch came to an end, with Becky finally scoring the win over AJ to regain her Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the third time in her career.
Following her loss, AJ was interviewed on the post-show of WrestleMania 42, where she seemingly implied that she would be taking some time away from WWE television after her loss.
She said that she made her return to WWE to give her fans something to say thank you for their support of her, and that it ‘isn’t a goodbye’, it’s a ‘see you soon’.
Becky Lynch is set to return to Raw on next week’s episode of the show following her victory.
Tatum Paxley’s WWE Future?
As only the second woman in history to hold both the WWE NXT Women’s and Women’s North American Championship, the only other woman being Stephanie Vaquer, the sky is the limit for Tatum Paxley’s potential on the main roster.
Tatum debuted in WWE back in 2022 as a member of the Diamond Mine faction with Ivy Nile, and has undergone numerous character transformations over her NXT career, including being part of the Culling and her tag team with Lyra Valkyria prior to Lyra’s call up.
Tatum has become arguably one of the standouts of a stacked NXT Women’s division, and with more names set to move to the main roster soon, her rise looks set to continue.
