Nixon Newell, previously referred to as Tegan Nox in WWE, had two runs with the corporate, together with her latest coming to an end last November. The wrestler recently appeared on “The Stardom Forged” and discussed her outlook the second time around. Newell approached the job with a more skilled attitude, viewing it as a business and never taking anything personally. When she was let go, it didn’t come as an amazing surprise, as she’d been making pitch after pitch without anything getting through.
“I knew that it was coming when an concept that I’d pitched, to be a football hooligan as a gimmick, got through all of the talking stages, got through the pitching stages, got to higher-ups, was scheduled to film stuff, after which two days before got canceled,” Newell said. “I went, ‘Something’s happening, and I feel I’m going.'”
Around that time, Newell was moved from wrestling regular matches on “WWE Principal Event” to dark matches before or after TV tapings. She recalled putting on some excellent performances alongside Blair Davenport (AKA Bea Priestley), impressing the likes of Molly Holly and William Regal. Despite that, Newell was let go in November 2024.
Since then, Newell has returned to the UK, taking bookings on the independent scene there. While she’s been appreciative of her time in promotions like ATTACK!, Newell recently expressed some frustration at not receiving more offers since she became a free agent once more. Prior to joining WWE, Newell built her fame wrestling in STARDOM, CHIKARA, and other popular indie promotions.
