Tatum Paxley recently heaped praise on an up-and-coming star, calling her a wrestling soulmate of sorts.
While speaking on The Mark Moses Show, Paxley was asked about Blake Monroe, formerly known in AEW as Mariah May, and who has been rumored to be making her WWE debut soon. The two have had a huge history in NXT, including some big matches. Paxley said that Monroe is someone who, once they arrived in NXT, is someone Paxley knew she had to work with, and praised how well they get on in the ring.
“She’s one of those people that, the second she stepped foot into NXT, I was like ‘I have to have interactions with this girl’,” said Paxley. “Something with me and Blake, we know ourselves so well, and something I really appreciated, aside from the words we had to say with each other, we had this amazing eye contact that I don’t really feel like I get with a lot of people.”
Paxley went on to say that, no matter what is happening in the ring, she feels like she has a connection with Monroe at all times.
“Any time I’m on stage, talking with my heart, sometimes people tend to look around, look at the audience, her and I were so locked in on each other and meant and felt everything we were saying, so I have like a really great connection with her from that promo, I just remember staring at her and we were not looking away. We were locked in on each other, and that was really cool,” Paxley said.
“Getting to do things with her, any time I stepped away from it I was like ‘this feels right’. She might be my wrestling soulmate, I’m not sure.”
