A walkout led to a lineup change on Saturday’s AEW Collision. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that Nixon Newell (f/k/a Tegan Nox) and Miranda Alize opted to leave roughly an hour before the show following a creative dispute regarding their scheduled match with Anna Jay and Tay Melo.
Hyan and Maya World replaced Newell and Alize in the match. There are conflicting reports as to why the duo chose to leave. Johnson reports that Newell and Alize refused to lose after taking a loss in their Collision debut the week before. Meanwhile, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com reports that Newell and Alize left because they wanted more time for the match.
Newell and Alize issued separate social media comments (see below). “Not everything you read is true,” Newell wrote. Alize wrote that she and Newell have “soooooooo much to say.” They also retweeted fan comments regarding match length and how they’d already been squashed on the previous Collision episode.
Powell’s POV: While I’m eager to hear Newell and Alize’s side of the story, walking out on the second biggest promotion in the United States strikes me as a questionable business decision unless they have a fallback plan. WWE released Newell for the second time just over a year ago (she was also cut back in 2021).
We have SOOOOOOOO much to say ……………

Not everything you read is true. Remember that.

Unless you already have one of his insane contracts, walking out on Tiny Con is a smart business move. AEW is DOA as soon as WBD gets bought and there’s no good reason to put up with the coked out nepotard’s bullshit.
Great, then will you continue your bizarre obsession with Tony Khan by moving to the comment sections of outlets that cover the Jaguars and Fulham FC?
Of course he will. He has no life.
So when the biggest wrestling company in the country fires you, the right move is to walk away from the second biggest? Do you have a mental disability or something? Cause you’d have to be fucking brain damaged to think THAT is a good call no matter how much you hate AEW.
Damn they pulled a Sasha/Naomi!
