New tag team walk out prior to AEW Collision
A new tag team walked out prior to AEW Collision.
PWInsider first reported that Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize were at Saturday’s AEW Collision in Houston and were scheduled to lose to Tay Melo and Anna Jay. According to the report, the two “balked” after being scheduled to lose for a second week in a row. The two left the taping an hour before belltime and were replaced by Hyan and Maya World. According to the report, AEW was appreciative of Hyan and World stepping in as last minute replacements and had “gained points internally.” It was also said that Alize and Newell were not believed to be under AEW contract.
Bryan Alvarez has additionally confirmed PWInsider’s report, citing that there were issues last week as well and people were surprised that they were brought back this week.
Fightful reported that while they didn’t expect to win the match, they wanted more time than was scheduled, which was three minutes. They were told that the times had been set and couldn’t be changed.
Alize wrote on social media on Saturday that both she and Newell had a lot to say. Both have re-tweeted messages of support from fans in the hours since Collision took place.
The team, who are also a couple in real life, made their debut on the October 29 edition of Collision losing to Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne. Newell previously competed in WWE and NXT under the name Tegan Nox before being released last year. Alize competed in Ring of Honor before it was purchased by Tony Khan.
