Wasn’t Tay Melo on a losing streak in her first few matches in AEW? And she wasn’t a top tier wrestler on the pecking order in NXT

[Fightful Select] A loaded update on Nixon Newell & Miranda Alize's AEW situation, conflicting info on another situation last weekend

Miranda Alize and Nixon Newell’s situation at the November 8 episode of AEW Collision caused controversy.

PWInsider originally reported that Miranda Alize and the former Tegan Nox, Nixon Newell, refused to lose to Anna Jay and Tay Conti. Fightful Select has heard that actually wasn’t the case. Instead, the duo requested more than the three minutes that were planned for the match. However, they were told that by then, the time for the show had been budgeted out and set. We’re told that the two then left the show about an hour before the it started.

There was an immediate and immense reaction internally from AEW personalities and staff. One AEW staffer told Fightful that both Newell and Alize are talented, but that there was a push to “help Newell out” after she revealed she wasn’t getting many bookings. Another said that they were disappointed to hear about the situation, as this seemed out of character for Newell specifically.

Maya World and Hyan were provided the opportunity to fill in on short notice, and got a lot of praise for doing so. We’re told that they were over the moon about the last minute opportunity when it didn’t look like they’d be used.



AEW sources and talent reached out and claimed this wasn’t the first issue with Newell in AEW, as there is conflicting information emerging about how the debut match went as well. Alize and Newell competed against Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir. Word made its way around the locker room that Newell wasn’t happy that the match was being constructed as is. One of the point of contentions was said to be Megan Bayne selling for Newell and Alize, which at that point of establishing a new, dominant team, wasn’t really a decision Megan Bayne could make on her own. AEW talent usually know to clear that with coaches or producers when facing unsigned talent.

One longtime friend of Newell chalked it up to Newell being excited about her debut, and then disappointed that things would end so quick. Another said that it felt like Newell wanted to get the match over with because of how things went setting it up.

Another source indicated that the frustration on Megan Bayne’s face during the match was legitimate as she was frustrated with what appeared to be a lack of cooperation on some of the spots.

Fightful did reach out to Nixon Newell, who denied there was a disagreement on the previous week’s show saying “No we had no disagreement, Miranda and I are really the only ones that have the details about how yesterday went.” When we elaborated on the details of the disagreement, we’d not gained a response as of the time of publishing the article.

So regardless you either...

- Threw a hissy fit because you weren't gonna get offense in on an established talent who is currently the strong woman in the division

- Mad that you we gonna get a squash time match even though you're not signed to the promotion and even despite the fact that you could make the best of that time.

Imagine Marty Janetty getting mad at Paul Heyman in 94 because he had to put over Sabu or 911 in three minutes and walking out of the arena. And Tegan isnt even Marty Janetty level

Trying to pull leverage as an unsigned wrestler that hasn't made a name for herself anyway is beyond stupid. at "we came in with ideas" bytch, you are there to put other talent over, the only ideas flying are you coming up with ways of selling and making your opponent look great. How fukking dumb are these new wrestlers?

And then of course you get retarded ass neckbeards taking shyt to the extreme because a couple of dumb ass wrestlers wanted to pull a Low Ki on their beloved promotion

Ol' girl really bought her own hype and tried to big time her way into the role she wanted without even having a deal. Maybe the sign that this wasn't the best plan was indie bookers not fukking with you.
