Nixon Newell talks about her WWE release.
In December of 2022, Newell would return to WWE after previously exiting the company. However, but November of 2024, Newell had once again been released by the company. Newell has returned to the UK scene with ATTACK!, and is looking to expand her bookings.
In a new interview with Wrestling In Middle, Newell was asked about her WWE release.
"Kind of half and half. Like it wasn't a shock to me with how less I was booked. It wasn't a shock. 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. I wanted to wrestle, which, 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 is- was the most disheartening thing to constantly keep doing when my knees... I haven't been injured with my knees since 2020 or 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. So it was just a... it wasn't a shock, but it was disappointing, but again, I was kind of happy that I could go try and have fun again."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Newell spoke further about wanting more bookings on the indies. You can read more about that here.
