Tegan Nox was released by WWE in November 2024 after being off television since April. While she continued wrestling at live events and dark matches until July, she remained absent from TV.
In an interview with Metro, Tegan Nox explained that she had been seriously ill for a period, though doctors never gave her a clear diagnosis. She underwent multiple tests, hospital visits, and medical evaluations but believed stress played a significant role in her condition.
Nox stated that while she recovered and was cleared to wrestle, miscommunication between WWE’s doctors, outside medical professionals, and hospitals led to extended time off. She felt that her necessary break for health reasons turned into an unnecessary absence from WWE programming.
“I did get incredibly sick for a little while. We didn’t really get a legit answer. I went through tests, I was in hospital, a bunch of different stuff. So I think it was down to a lot of stress mixed with other things. But I was really sick, which didn’t help with the time off. I think that started it all, even though I said, ‘I’m good to go, it’s just I get sick now and again.’ But it wasn’t, like, deathly or anything. I think it was a mix of them wanting to be safe, and miscommunication with a lot of different people, because it was going from their doctors to outside doctors to hospitals. I think it just got lost in [translation] and stuff like that. But I think unnecessary time off started with a necessary time off, if that makes sense.”
Despite being on medication and ready to return, WWE never brought her back, leading her to believe she would be released much earlier than she actually was.
“I needed that second to try and figure out what was going on, and then when we kind of figured it out, I was on medication, I could have come back, and I was just never brought back from there. I thought I was going to be released a lot sooner.”
Tegan Nox is currently a free agent after her 90-day non-compete clause expired. Now that Tegan Nox is no longer with WWE, fans are curious about her next move. With promotions like AEW, TNA, and various independent wrestling companies providing new opportunities, she could soon find a solid start in a different promotion.
