“Myriad of Issues” Derailed Tegan Nox’s UK Wrestling Comeback

It was supposed to be a thrilling homecoming for wrestling fans in the UK—Nixon Newell, known to WWE fans as Tegan Nox, was set to make her big return to the ring with ATTACK! Pro Wrestling next month. But in a last-minute twist, ATTACK! announced that Newell would no longer be competing at the show, leaving fans disappointed and wanting answers.

According to Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan, there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Sources within the UK wrestling scene revealed that WWE and ATTACK! had been in discussions throughout the entire process, hoping to make Newell’s appearance a reality. Despite their efforts, things didn’t pan out. One source noted that WWE worked well with ATTACK! to try and accommodate the booking, with the promotion even praising WWE’s cooperation. Still, there was no happy ending—at least not this time.

So, what really kept Tegan Nox from making her big UK return? While some fans might point fingers at a non-compete clause, sources didn’t confirm if that was a factor in her removal. The situation, it seems, was a result of “a myriad of issues,” according to those in the know.

ATTACK! Pro Wrestling is already hustling to find a suitable replacement for Newell, with hopes of bringing her back for future events. And it’s not just ATTACK!—promoters across the UK and Europe are reportedly lining up to book Newell once she’s available. It looks like the “Girl with the Shiniest Wizard” still has plenty of suitors waiting for her grand return.

Despite the setback, one thing is clear: Nixon Newell’s return to the UK wrestling scene is highly anticipated, and her fans and promoters alike are eager for the day she steps back into the ring.
