In November, it was reported that Nixon Newell (formerly known as Tegan Nox in WWE) and her tag partner Miranda Alizeh left an “AEW Collision” taping partway through their match against Anna Jay and Tay Mero. After rumors spread for days, Newell addressed the situation during a live stream on her Twitch channel, stating their early exit was done out of respect. She recently revisited the topic on “The Wrestling Classic,” clarifying that misinformation from unreliable sources, often called “Dirtsheets,” skewed the narrative.
Newell emphasized, “That’s not what I meant. I shared my perspective and that’s all I’ll say. Those who want the full story can watch it on my Twitch. Many Dirtsheets like to spread false information—they receive wrong details and put them out there. This happened previously, and I called them out directly to stop the false reports.” Regarding her future with AEW, Newell doesn’t believe the door is closed. She explained that she and her partner didn’t simply abandon the taping; rather, it was a mutual understanding between both parties.
She added, “‘Okay, yeah, okay. Don’t worry, we get it.’ We were like, ‘Okay, cool. Thanks for the opportunity.’ It never felt negative until the Dirtsheets made it seem that way.”
