Nixon Newell (Tegan Nox) talks struggles in free agency

[Chris]

On free agency so far:

“Not great, if I’m being honest. Severe lack of bookings. Not sure where that’s from, but the bookings that I have done, like I’ve been home to Attack, which has been phenomenal. Got to wrestle Dani Luna, who’s been on my list, God, for years since she first started training I could tell she was going to be something special. So she’s been on my list for a very, very long time, so I’m glad that one was in the books at least. But, yeah, it’s been slow. Hopefully it picks up soon, because it’s a nightmare [laughs]. But hopefully soon it gets better.”

On getting released:

“Did I want it to happen? Yes and no. In a sense of, no, that was my dream job. I’ve wanted that since I was a kid. All my friends worked there at the time. But, yes, I wanted to wrestle, which, you know, still hasn’t panned out great. But at least now I can do what I want to do and have fun with wrestling again. Instead of just being stuck in the same story with the knees, which was the most disheartening thing to constantly keep doing when my knees — I haven’t been injured with my knees since 2019, whenever the last knee surgery was. That was the last time I was hurt with my knees. So it wasn’t like they were injured at all, you know?”

On AEW:

“I’m interested, I’d love to go there. But as far as I know, I don’t think there’s an interest from them, which is a shame. But I would love to go there.”
