Nixon Newell took a deeply emotional moment to honor her late grandfather—twenty years to the day after his passing.
The former WWE Superstar turned AEW wrestler reflected on how instrumental he was in her life, both personally and professionally, sharing just how much of her wrestling journey is owed to him. She posted a touching tribute on her Instagram story, letting fans in on the man who helped shape her love for wrestling from the very beginning.
“20 years ago today I lost one of the most important people in my life & the reason I love wrestling! I wouldn’t be where I am today without him, both personally & professionally.”
Newell made it clear that her grandfather was more than just family—he was the person who opened her eyes to the world she now thrives in.
“Without my grandfather showing me this crazy world, who knows what I’d be doing! Thank you for everything! I love and miss you, bampi 💙”
It’s rare when a wrestler gives such a personal glimpse into what drives them beyond the spotlight, and for Nixon Newell, that drive is rooted in love, legacy, and loss.
