Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize walking out of AEW Collision made them received a lot of backlash from fans as well as peers. Thats why its no surprise that even Dustin Rhodes has now thrown shade at them.
Dustin Rhodes took to Twitter and threw shade at Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize after they walked out of AEW Collision. He stated that when a wrestler is given a chance to perform on TV, they should accept it, do the job and keep a positive attitude. Otherwise, they shouldnt be surprised if theyre let go, as he essentially confirmed Newell and Alize are done with AEW.
This comes after Nixon Newell publicly denied being disrespectful. She explained that she and Miranda Alize made their decision after a calm discussion with AEW staff.
According to Newell, their match was changed from something meaningful to just three minutes, and they felt it wouldnt allow anyone in the match to look good. Rather than argue or cause problems, they politely stepped aside and told AEW to give the spot to someone else.
We have also reported that AEW has no plans to bring back Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize moving forward, so Dustin Rhodes message was pretty much a confirmation.
This situation shows a common issue in wrestling about how matches are planned and how wrestlers and management work together. Newell and Alize believed stepping away was the best way to protect the quality of their work. However, AEW leadership and some wrestlers felt differently, making it clear that you should never refuse TV time when youre given the chance. So in the end, theyll never return to AEW and fans feel thats for the best.
