Tommy Dreamer has compared an NXT star to Rey Mysterio for her underdog performance.
WWE presented Halloween Havoc last weekend from Arizona. One of the featured matches on the card saw Jacy Jayne defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Tatum Paxley. Despite being the underdog, Paxley managed to defeat Jayne to win the title.
Speaking on a recent episode of Busted Open After Dark, ECW icon Tommy Dreamer praised Paxley for her achievement, comparing her to arguably one of the biggest underdogs in professional wrestling, Rey Mysterio.
“She’s always the underdog, no matter who she faces and if she’s smart, she will go and watch the greatest underdog of all time, and that’s Rey Mysterio,” Dreamer said. “And Rey has won it all, but yet you still cheer for him like he’s the underdog… and the same with her. Like I enjoyed nervous energy, where when she’s cutting her promo, she’s excited to be out there, because you should be, because it is your dream come true.”
Elsewhere, Dreamer suggested that NXT may have big plans for Tatum Paxley, noting that she was booked to close Halloween Havoc instead of the main event featuring Ricky Saints and Trick Williams for the NXT Championship.
“They ended the show with her. After a great card, a great main event and then I understand what they’re setting up here. But like that whole end promo with her, it’s like, it’s going to get wilder,” Dreamer said. [H/T WrestlingInc]
