Nixon Newell Slams AEW Leaks and Fires Back at Dirt Sheets Over Walkout Rumors

Nixon Newell isn’t holding back anymore. After staying relatively quiet during the fallout from her abrupt AEW Collision exit, she’s now calling out what she sees as a toxic mix of backstage snitches and dirt sheet fabrications—making it clear she’s tired of people twisting the narrative.

During a Twitch stream this evening, Newell pushed back hard on claims that she was sent home by AEW or walked out in anger. She explained that after being given only three minutes for a tag team match with Miranda Alize, they spoke with the AEW producer, who gave them the green light to leave if they preferred not to perform. They exited respectfully—but the aftermath quickly spun out of control online.

That’s when Newell dropped the real update. She revealed that people inside AEW leaked false narratives to dirt sheets, and she has no respect left for them.

“The most disappointing thing for us both is the people that are in this business, that have a direct line to us, who know how bad the dirt sheets are — have quickly caught on to the dirt sheets and are now not attacking us, but, you know… it is what it is.”

Without naming names, Newell appeared to be addressing individuals within AEW who she believes ran to the press with a skewed version of events. She took issue not just with the lies—but with the people close enough to know better choosing to stay silent.

Miranda Alize, who appeared alongside her on stream, was even more direct, saying the online coverage has nothing to do with facts:

“Dirt sheets have no f**ing life. That’s what it comes down to. Nobody knows what happened but us and the people that we spoke to, and that’s it.”

Newell added that she’s not interested in releasing receipts or proving anything, because there’s no bad blood—but she made it clear that the narrative online has been fiction from the start.

The AEW walkout story originally gained steam after she was spotted Newell and Alize out drinking shortly after the event. Critics seized on the timing, suggesting the two bailed on the show for personal reasons. Newell addressed that, too, pointing out it’s completely normal for them to go out after events—especially when their appearance was pulled.

Now, she’s trying to move on—but not without warning fans about what really goes on behind the scenes. As for her future, Newell confirmed that 2025 will be her final year in wrestling. She’s not chasing contracts, clout, or backstage drama—she’s just looking to enjoy what time she has left.

“I told you guys at the beginning of the year, this is my last two years in wrestling. We’re already a year gone. So I want to have fun this last year.”

Newell says she’ll be doing things on her terms with her tag partner Miranda Alize—no politics, no grudges.

“It’s not a fk you, fk them, f**k us situation. It was respectful. And we would prefer the three minutes go to someone that could benefit from it and use it to their advantage.”

AEW hasn’t commented publicly on the situation. But if Newell’s stream is any indication, this isn’t about getting attention—it’s about setting the record straight before she rides off into the sunset.
