Nixon Newell thinks door isn’t closed on AEW return
Nixon Newell doesn’t think a return to AEW is out of the question.
In a lengthy interview with The Wrestling Classic, Newell was asked if she felt the door was closed after she and Miranda Alize opted out of a planned AEW Collision match last November.
“When we left, it wasn’t like we stormed out. It was an understanding on both sides of ‘Yeah, okay, cool. No worries. We get it’ and then we were like, ‘Okay, cool. Thank you for the opportunity.’ It was never anything negative until the dirt sheets made it negative,” she said.
“It wasn’t even a disagreement. We were given what we were given. We did it the week before and we were promised something else. They said ‘Okay.’ It didn’t come to fruition and we just said, ‘Okay, cool’ and they went ‘Okay, we totally understand. Thanks for coming. We totally appreciate it.’ It was very civilized on both sides.”
Newell said “there were no negative feelings on either side” and that “it wasn’t meant to be.”
She also clarified there is no negativity or ill will toward Hyan and Maya World who filled in for them that night and were later signed to AEW contracts.
