During tonight’s special Gold Rush episode of WWE NXT held at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, a title change took place in the main event. Out of four championship matches, three saw changes in titleholders. Chelsea Green and Ethan Page, Blake Monroe, and Dark State managed to retain the AAA Mixed Tag Team, NXT Women’s North American Championship, and NXT Tag Team Championship by defeating Thea Hale and Joe Hendry, Sol Luka, and Leon Slater and Jevon Evans, respectively.
In the spotlight main event, Tatum Paxley defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Jaycee Jayne. The match concluded with Jayne winning, claiming the title for the second time. The victory was aided by an interference from Izzy Dame and other members of the Culling, who attacked Paxley during the match. Paxley had previously captured the championship from Jayne at WWE Halloween Havoc on October 25th. Recent weeks have seen rising tensions between Izzy Dame and the Pac Three faction, with Dame criticizing Pac Three’s decision to grant the title shot.
Fan Take: This title shift is a significant moment for WWE fans as it adds fresh dynamics to the women’s division and sets up potential rivalries fueled by backstage alliances and betrayals. Jaycee Jayne’s win not only restores her status but also injects new excitement into NXT storylines, promising compelling matches ahead.
