TNA veteran praises WWE NXT’s Tatum Paxley

Rosemary has been winning championships in TNA and other promotions for over a decade. But it’s a champion in NXT who is on her mind these days.

In an interview with Dom Smith at Soundsphere Magazine, Rosemary talked about the “weirdos” in society who needed someone to represent them on television.

“Look at Tatum Paxley,” she said. “She’s got a wonderful following. We absolutely adore her. And to allow her to be this alternate character that she is, and to show that kind of love for what she is, her true self on television.”

Rosemary wrestled Paxley twice in September of 2024, before Paxley went on to win the NXT Women’s Championship and Women’s North American Championship.

“And we’ll say quite frankly,” she added, “10 years ago, someone like her is a is a midcard act, never a champion, because she’s just a weird kid. It’s not someone they feel they can promote to the top. Well, she is now. There is more of acceptance for weird kids like her, like us, like so many countless others out there.”

The interview covered other subjects as well, including how Raven is helping Rosemary to bring Allie back from the dead in TNA.
