Nixon Newell, formerly known as Tegan Nox in WWE, is trying to reclaim a piece of her pre-WWE identity — but she’s hitting a snag. After being released from WWE and reverting to her old ring name, Newell is now asking for her former Twitter handle back.

On May 10, 2025, Newell took to Twitter to make a public plea, writing, “Bruh… whoever has the username tag NixonNewell on here… can I have it back please? 😂😂”

The request comes after Newell changed her handle to @TeganNoxWWE years ago when she signed with WWE. Now that she’s out of the company, someone else has taken over the original @NixonNewell handle, leaving Newell in social media limbo.

This follows Newell’s recent Twitter rant where she blasted WWE’s latest roster cuts, calling the company “fcking insane” for letting go of talent like Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, and Gigi Dolin. “Imagine releasing talent like that!” she posted, making it clear that she’s still not over her own WWE exit in 2021.
