Nixon Newell Says She Fully Expected Second WWE Release

Nixon Newell isn’t holding back when it comes to how she handled her second WWE release—and this time, she saw it coming from a mile away.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the former Tegan Nox opened up about the emotional difference between her two departures from WWE. While the first caught her completely off guard, the second one hit different.

“The first time was totally out of the blue—that knocked me for six, wasn’t expecting it. I was devastated. However, the second time around, I kind of had a feeling that it was coming.”

Newell admitted that this internal shift gave her a more grounded outlook on her career and WWE’s business decisions.

“This time going in, I was a lot more realistic, which is why I was so in tune that something’s going to happen this time. I fully expected it. It was still sad, still a kick in the gut, but I was more prepared this time.”

She went on to say that the second release changed how she saw the company and herself, realizing that it wasn’t always about personal fault—it was just the business.

“They’re going to do what they think is best for business. I need to be what is best for business. But unfortunately, something just wasn’t clicking. I don’t know if it was me, them, or a mixture of us both—I have no idea.”

Nixon Newell may be rebuilding now, but she’s doing it with clearer eyes and a stronger mindset than ever.
