Former WWE star Nixon Newell, also known as Tegan Nox, and Miranda Alize made a surprise appearance during Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision. In a backstage segment, they confronted the team of TayJay, consisting of Tay Melo and Anna Jay, challenging them to a future match, which Melo and Jay accepted.
Dave Meltzer noted in the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that he did not get the impression that Newell and Alize have signed with AEW; their appearance on Collision may just be a tryout.
AEW has not yet announced when the tag team match will take place, but updates will be provided as they become available. Newell, who previously wrestled in WWE as Tegan Nox, was released from the company in November 2024 and became a free agent earlier this year. Meanwhile, Alize has recently appeared on ROH TV and has been feuding with Newell on the independent scene.
