WWE has officially locked in a major main event for the March 17, 2026 episode of NXT, and it’s set to bring a brutal end to a heated rivalry.
NXT confirmed that Tatum Paxley will defend the NXT Women’s North American Championship against Izzi Dame inside a steel cage. The announcement puts a clear spotlight on the match as the night’s main event, raising the stakes significantly for both competitors.
Paxley and Dame have been at odds for months, with their rivalry escalating week after week. The steel cage stipulation is designed to prevent outside interference and force a definitive outcome between the two. For Paxley, this is a chance to finally shut the door on Dame once and for all. For Dame, it’s an opportunity to capture championship gold in dominant fashion.
While the show already features a stacked lineup—including a triple threat match for the NXT Women’s Championship and Booker T Appreciation Night—the steel cage title bout now stands as the clear centerpiece of the night.
With tensions at a boiling point and no escape from the structure surrounding the ring, all eyes will be on how this feud concludes when the cage door locks in Houston.
