Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize Depart AEW

Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize Exit AEW
Multiple sources indicate that Newell and Alize left AEW amid a controversy regarding their scheduled match. Initially, they were set to face Jay and Melo in a significant bout, but that match never occurred.
Background of Their Departure
- Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize debuted on AEW in early October 2023.
- Their match was expected to showcase them in the women’s tag team championship tournament.
- No specific date was announced for their scheduled match featuring Jay and Melo.
According to PW Insider, Newell and Alize reportedly refused to participate in the match due to dissatisfaction over their storyline’s outcome, particularly after experiencing a loss in their debut. However, subsequent updates suggested their departure stemmed from a disagreement regarding match time rather than a refusal to lose.
Conflicting Reports on the Situation
While Fightful confirmed the timing issue was a significant factor in their departure, it remains unclear why the duo chose to exit AEW so early in their careers with the company. Newell even addressed the situation on her X account, indicating that not all reports accurately reflect their intentions.
The sudden exit raises questions about the couple’s future in professional wrestling. Their decision demonstrates a noteworthy stance for wrestlers negotiating their positions within major promotions like AEW.
