Ex-WWE Star Hints At Unprofessional Label After Leaving Company
A former WWE star has claimed that the company encourages you to speak up, only to label you as unprofessional and difficult when you do.
Tegan Nox started with WWE in 2017, was released in the summer of 2021 and was brought back in December 2022. Nox overcame multiple knee injuries in her career, but she was only used sparingly prior to her second release from the company in late 2024.
Now known by her non-WWE name of Nixon Newell, the star has been back on the independent scene in the UK, but isn’t happy with a label sticking from her WWE days.
Nixon Newell Gives Insight Into WWE Unhappiness
In a new video on social media, Nixon Newell has hit out at fans labelling her as “injury prone” while giving some insight into her time in WWE, as she says you’re encouraged to speak up and then labelled as unprofessional when you do:
Oh, hey, there. It’s me, your favorite ‘injury-prone wrestler,’ or at least that’s what you guys say, right? I mean, I see the comments that you say online, so if we’re gonna say stuff, let’s start to get creative with it, because at this point, the jokes run dry. It’s old, but news flash: some of your favorites have been hurt way more than I have. I wrestled an entire match with a broken leg and a busted knee, and others can’t even wrestle with a broken nail. So sad.
Look, wrestling has been my life for 14 years, eight of them in the big leagues, where I was busting my ass day after day, jumped through hoop after hoop just for another one to be put in front of me, I was playing a game that I couldn’t win. Look, you’re empowered to speak up, but when you do, you’re considered unprofessional and difficult.
So, tell me, how is that fair? I sat for hours and hours in catering, stood outside doors day after day, just to be told, ‘It’s not the right time.’ But I’m done waiting. I’m telling you that now is the right time. So consider this me knocking. Give me an opportunity.
