Tatum Paxley currently uses the Psycho Trap as her finishing move. Here, she throws her opponent onto her shoulder and then slams them onto the mat.
Psycho Trap
This vicious maneuver, adopted in October 2023, takes inspiration from Suzu Suzuki's "Tequila Shot." Paxley throws her opponent upside down onto her shoulder, spins with momentum, and then slams them face-first into the mat for a brutal and effective pin.
Electric Chair into Powerbomb
This move showcased Paxley's raw power. Before October 2023, she would hoist her opponent onto her shoulders in an Electric Chair position, then forcefully drive them down with a devastating powerbomb.
Running Facebuster
Early in her career, Paxley used this high-impact move. She'd charge at her opponent, launching herself into the air, and smash their face with her forearm for a potentially fight-ending blow.
What is the theme song of Tatum Paxley?
Tatum Paxley currently uses “Eyes of the Reaper” by Def. Rebel as her theme song. This ominous theme sets the perfect tone for Paxley's dominant and intimidating presence in the ring. The title itself, "Eyes of the Reaper," talks of Paxley's ruthlessness and her ability to strike fear into her opponents.

In April 2024, she turned heel once again after turning on Lyra Valkyria.
