Professional wrestling career
WWE (2021–present)
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 Fallon 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 NXT: New Year's Evil 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.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2024–2025)
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.

Holland, as Tatum Paxley, made her video game debut as a playable character in WWE 2K25 and has since appeared in WWE 2K26. Holland alongside her husband also appeared in a music video for the song Solace In Silence by Florida based metalcore band Not Enough Space.
Personal life
