Professional wrestling career

WWE (2021–present)

Holland was hired by WWE in August 2021, after participating in some physical tests carried out by the company. To begin her training, she reported to the WWE Performance Center.[4] Holland, now given the ring name of Tatum Paxley, made her debut on the February 18, 2022, episode of NXT Level Up teaming with Ivy Nile from Diamond Mine, being victorious over Fallon Henley and Kayla Inlay.[2] On the February 22 episode of NXT, Paxley and Nile participated in the first round of the women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, facing Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, in which they were defeated.[5]

Now a formalized tag team, Paxley and Nile engaged in a fatal four-way match against Katana Chance and Carter, Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon, and Toxic Attraction. That match which took place on the August 2 episode of NXT, had the vacant NXT Women's Tag Team Championship on the line, which they failed to win. After feeling morally abandoned by Ivy Nile, on the March 14, 2023, episode of NXT, Paxley turned heel and abandoned her during a three-way tag team match, attacking her and causing her to suffer the pinfall at the hands of Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. On April 4 episode of NXT, Paxley was defeated by Ivy Nile.

Towards 2023, Paxley took on the character of a deranged creep and began a storyline where she stalked Lyra Valkyria during backstage interviews and during matches. She turned face on NXT: New Year's Evil (2024) after saving Valkyria from the beatdown by Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez.
