The first week of NXT Gold Rush is in the books and Jacy Jayne is once again the top woman in NXT.

Tatum Paxley's dream of being the NXT Women's Champion turned into an absolute nightmare Tuesday night in New York. Weeks of apparent resentment on the part of Izzi Dame finally culminated in the Culling turning their back on the now former champion.

Just as Paxley appeared to have Jayne on the ropes during the Gold Rush main event, Shawn Spears and Niko Vance blocked her from rolling back into the ring, which allowed Dame to blast her out of nowhere with a big boot as the referee was busy tending to her opponent.

Dame then picked Paxley up off the floor and rolled her back into the ring, where Jacy was waiting to deliver the Rolling Encore and the Fatal Influence scored the decisive three count.

The loss ends Tatum's reign as the NXT Women's Champion after just 24 days. She defeated Jayne at NXT Halloween Havoc back on October 25, thanks in large part to The Culling's interference.

Spears, Vance and Dame now have a lot of questions to answer. Here's everything you may have missed from Tuesday night's show in New York City.
