Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, Holland was a successful powerlifter, winning the USA Powerlifting (USAPL) championship multiple times.
Natalie Elizabeth Holland was born on October 29, 1996 in Dallas, Texas. Holland's athletic experience includes cheerleading and powerlifting. She is a former two-time USA Powerlifting (USAPL) champion, winning competitions in 2019 and 2021.
Holland signed a contract with WWE in August 2021, after participating in physical tests carried out by the company. To begin her training, she reported to the WWE Performance Center. On the January 25, 2022, episode of WWE NXT, her first speaking role would be in a backstage segment involving Cora Jade and Raquel González.
On February 15, on the debut episode of NXT Level Up, she made her in-ring debut as a face under the ring name Tatum Paxley, teaming with Ivy Nile of Diamond Mine, and scoring a victory over Fallon Henley and Kayla Inlay. On the February 22 episode of NXT, Paxley and Nile participated in the first round of the women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic against Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, in which they were defeated. Now a formalized tag team, Paxley and Nile engaged in a fatal four-way tag team match against Katana Chance and Carter, Valentina Feroz, and Yulisa Leon, and Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) on the August 2 episode of NXT for the vacant NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, which they failed to win. After feeling morally abandoned by Nile, on the March 14, 2023, episode of NXT, Paxley abandoned Nile during a three-way tag team match, leaving her to suffer the pinfall by Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn of The Unholy Union, thus turning heel. On the April 4 episode of NXT, Paxley was defeated by Nile, and would only appear sporadically on NXT and mostly be on NXT Level Up.
Paxley returned to a main role again on the November 28, 2023, edition of NXT interrupting a segment involving, NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria and Henley. Paxley took on the character of a deranged creep and began a storyline where she stalked Valkyria during backstage interviews and during her matches. Paxley turned face at on January 2, 2024, after saving Valkyria from a beatdown by Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez, eventually developing an obsession and a crush on Valkyria. Ever since then, Paxley would interfere on Valkyria's matches to the latter's disapproval. At NXT: Roadblock on March 5, Valkyria and Paxley faced The Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship as a reward from Valkyria to Paxley for the latter not interfering with the former's title matches against Shotzi and Lash Legend in the previous week; they failed to win the titles after Valkyria inadvertently kicked Paxley. On the April 9 episode of NXT after NXT Stand & Deliver where Valkyria lost the NXT Women's Championship to Roxanne Perez, Paxley turned on Valkyria and reverted to a heel. On the following week of NXT, Paxley revealed that her obsession with Valkyria was only because she had the NXT Women's Championship. Later that night, Paxley defeated Thea Hail after interference from Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx, and was attacked by Valkyria after the match. NXT general manager Ava then announced that Perez will defend the NXT Women's Championship against Paxley and Valkyria in a triple threat match at Week 1 of Spring Breakin' on April 23, where Perez retained her title. Valkyria was subsequently promoted to the Raw brand in the 2024 WWE Draft the following week, ending the feud between the two.
On the May 28 episode of NXT, Paxley took on Michin to qualify for a spot in the six-woman ladder match to crown the inaugural NXT Women's North American Champion at NXT Battleground, where she lost. In July, Paxley formed a short-lived alliance with Wendy Choo, who turned on Paxley at Week 2 of NXT: The Great American Bash on August 6 after Paxley failed to defeat NXT Women's North American Champion Kelani Jordan for the title. On the September 3 episode of NXT, Paxley defeated Rosemary, a wrestler signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) who had aligned with Choo. After the match, Paxley was attacked by Choo and Rosemary. Lyra Valkyria returned to NXT to save Paxley and the pair reunited, turning Paxley face once more. On the October 22 episode of NXT, after losing a match against Jaida Parker, Paxley was stuffed into a loading box by Choo. At NXT Halloween Havoc on October 27, Paxley spun the Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal wheel, and the first ever women's casket match in WWE was scheduled between herself and Choo, which was won by Paxley two days later to end their feud.
On the November 26 episode of NXT, Paxley challenged Henley for the NXT Women's North American Championship but failed to win the title. After the match, she was attacked by Henley and her Fatal Influence stablemates (Jayne and Nyx). Paxley was then saved by a returning Dolin and formed an alliance with her. On the following week, Paxley and Dolin lost to Jayne and Nyx in a tag team match. After the match, Shotzi saved the pair from a beatdown by Fatal Influence. The two teams would face off at on January 7, 2025, where Paxley, Dolin and Shotzi emerged victorious. At the NXT Stand & Deliver pre-show on April 19, Paxley and Dolin won a fatal four-way tag team elimination match to become the No. 1 contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship; they failed to defeat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the titles on the April 22 episode of NXT. The alliance of Paxley, Dolin and Shotzi effectively ended in May when Dolin was released from her WWE contract and Shotzi departed the company upon the expiry of her contract.
On the May 13 episode of NXT, Paxley had a breakdown backstage, after which Hail tried to console her but to no avail, thus resulting in a match between Paxley and Hail, which Paxley lost due to disqualification for gouging Hail's eye while escaping a kimura lock, and continued to attack her after the match had ended, turning heel again. Paxley then entered into a storyline with Izzi Dame, where Dame attempted to recruit Paxley into The Culling stable. On the July 1 episode of NXT, Paxley teamed with Dame to defeat Zaria and Sol Ruca, and joined The Culling. At Evolution on July 13, Paxley and Dame entered the 20-woman battle royal for a women's world championship match at Clash in Paris but the pair were immediately eliminated at the start of the match by Nia Jax. On the July 22 episode of NXT, The Culling (Paxley, Dame, Shawn Spears, and Niko Vance) defeated NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger), Zaria, and Sol Ruca in an eight-person mixed tag team match in The Culling's first match as a whole stable, with Paxley picking up the win. On the August 5 episode of NXT, Paxley challenged Ruca for the NXT Women's North American Championship but failed to win the title.
On October 14 episode of NXT, Paxley won a battle royal to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship by last eliminating Dame and Jordynne Grace, with her former tag team partner Lyra Valkyria joining the ring to celebrate with her, seemingly reverting Paxley back to a face in the process. At Halloween Havoc on October 25, Paxley defeated Jayne to win the title. At the subsequent episode of NXT, Paxley went against the advice of Dame and reintroduced The Wheel with contenders from NXT and Evolve. With Dame's name noticeably missing, Lola Vice was chosen to be the next No. 1 Contender. The match ended in disqualification as they tried to fend off Fatal Influence after Dame was ambushed. The following week on NXT, the duo of Paxley and Dame, alongside Vice, lost to Fatal Influence in a six-woman tag team match, making Paxley reconsider her stance of being a fighting champion; on the behest of Dame, the following week Paxley would give Jayne her rematch, on the promise that Jayne can never challenge for the title again, if she were to lose. At NXT Gold Rush on November 18, Paxley lost the title back to Jayne after Dame turned on her, ending her reign at 24 days, marking the shortest reign in the title's history, exiling Paxley from The Culling, and cementing her face turn.
At NXT Deadline, Paxley was defeated by Dame due to distraction from her former stable. Paxley would then get her revenge on Dame by defeating her at and by dethroning her to become the new NXT Women's North American Champion at NXT Vengeance Day. With the win, she became the second NXT women's wrestler since Stephanie Vaquer to win both NXT Women's Championship and NXT Women's North American Championship. On the March 17 episode of NXT, Paxley retained the title against Dame inside a steel cage match to end their feud. After the match, Paxley was attacked by Blake Monroe.
At NXT Battleground on June 9, 2024, halfway through the NXT Women's Championship match between Perez and Jordynne Grace (the then TNA Knockouts World Champion), Paxley appeared from the crowd and attempted to steal the TNA Knockouts World Championship but was stopped by Ash by Elegance and Grace, who lost the title match as a result of the interference. After failing to steal the TNA Knockouts World Championship at NXT Battleground, Paxley made her surprise debut appearance in TNA at Against All Odds on June 14, where she answered Grace's open challenge for the title but failed to win the title. On the March 15, 2025, taping of Impact!, Paxley returned to TNA with Dolin and demanded a title match against Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance (the then TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions) but failed to win the titles the following week. On the April 17 episode of Impact!, Paxley and Dolin won their first TNA match by defeating Heather by Elegance and Maggie Lee.
