While Nox could not compete in the tourney due to an untimely ACL injury, she eventually made her WWE debut in April 2018 at an NXT house show. Newell also wrestled with many well-known indie promotions until reports suggested that WWE brought her on board to participate in the Mae Young Classic tournament in 2017. We also remind you that the wrestler often has knee problems, so it is not easy to hire a person with a high risk of injury. Very often a work visa is issued on these occasions, but obviously, if there are no engagements, the country is unlikely to be able to grant it. In fact, we remind you that Nixon is of Welsh origins, so to fight in the United States she needs a valid visa.
TEGAN NOX INJURY FREE
When Fightful asked about her status, we were told that she had been kept very busy trying to resolve situations around her visa, which has been an uphill battle for many wrestlers who suddenly find themselves fighting like a free agent." Like many of the 80+ wrestlers who were fired by WWE in 2021, Nixon was told the decision was made due to budget cuts.But she doesn’t believe that excuse for a second. Nixon hasn't struggled since her release in WWE, which has left her out of the ring since October. During an interview with Into The Danger Zone w/ Chris Denker, Nixon Newell (fka Tegan Nox) was asked about the story behind her release from WWE last year. While on Nixon Newell, the name adopted by Tegan Nox after her release from WWE, Fightful tells us the following: “Nixon Newell, the former Tegan Nox, is another free agent in the world of wrestling. We have not yet known whether she will be hired or brought here, and the folks at All Elite Wrestling we spoke to said there didn't seem to be a sense of urgency to stop her." Feeling out simply means that between the two parties there was an indirect process of conversation, with possible questions, to investigate the mutual interest in obtaining an agreement.

Those who were aware of the situation said there was a "feeling out" process between Ember Moon and All Elite Wrestling, dating back to the early days she was released. “We can confirm that there have been at least light and interesting talks between Athena, formerly of Ember Moon, and AEW. Speaking of Ember Moon, now called Athena, she has made some appearances in the Indies, recently, for example, she challenged another former WWE, Mia Yim, at WrestleCon, but apparently, according to Fightful, there is some news about her, on her possible arrival in All Elite Wrestling.
