Former WWE Star Tegan Nox’s UK Wrestling Return Cancelled: Here’s What We Know

One Big Thing

Nixon Newell (formerly Tegan Nox) has withdrawn from her scheduled appearances at ATTACK! Pro Wrestling in Cardiff, marking what would have been her first post-WWE shows.

Why It Matters

This cancellation highlights the complexities wrestlers face during their transition period after WWE releases, particularly regarding non-compete clauses and independent bookings.

By The Numbers

• 90 days: Standard WWE non-compete clause period
• 2 shows: Canceled appearances (December 14 and 15)
• 2 WWE runs: Newell’s stints with the company (2017-2021, 2022-2023)

Behind The Scenes

• ATTACK! Pro Wrestling and WWE maintained open communication throughout the booking process
• Multiple factors contributed to the cancellation, not just potential non-compete restrictions
• UK promotion expressed being “gutted” but maintained positive relations with WWE
• Actively seeking replacement talent while keeping door open for future Newell appearances

The Bigger Picture

• Multiple promoters across UK and Europe have shown interest in booking Newell
• This situation demonstrates the growing interplay between WWE and independent promotions
• Highlights the challenges of talent transitions in modern wrestling

Looking Ahead

ATTACK! Pro Wrestling has expressed interest in booking Newell for future shows once any restrictions are cleared, suggesting this is a temporary setback rather than a permanent cancellation.
