Nixon Newell Admits She Laughed During WWE Release Call

While speaking on the Sappenin podcast, Nixon Newell talked about the phone call she got when WWE released her. She found it kind of funny because she thought she might have annoyed the person on the other end.

It happened just two days before she was set to go on a cruise for her birthday, and she joked that it was like they planned it that way. It was actually the second time WWE had fired her, once right after her birthday and now a week before it.

Newell said she was getting ready for her trip when someone called and asked if it was her. When she confirmed, he asked how she was doing, and she replied that it depended on how the call was going to go.

The caller then told her they were going to exercise her 90-day non-compete, and she started laughing. She didnt think he liked that at all. When he asked why she was laughing, she explained that she had seen it coming. Shed been off TV for a long time, her pitches were going nowhere, and it was obvious to her that she was going to be let go.

The caller then told her theyd still pay her for the 90 days but apologized for the situation. Nixon thanked him and said she actually appreciated being fired and was glad to be leaving. This surprised him, and she explained that her mental health had been suffering, so she was relieved. She figured she probably upset him by laughing and by admitting she didnt want to be there anymore.

This comes after Nixon Newellalready called out WWE for making empty promises, among other things. Regardless, Newell is back on the indies and is determined to create her own path now, so fans are excited to see what she will accomplish this year.
