Nixon Newell is preparing for her next chapter and it likely wont involve lacing up her boots.
During her interview on The Wrestling Classic podcast, Newell opened up about her in-ring future and gave fans an honest update about where her heart is heading into 2026. While she didnt rule out wrestling altogether, she made it clear: her days as a full-time performer are coming to an end.
Newell said her decision has nothing to do with burnout, frustration, or drama. Instead, its about finding purpose outside the spotlight. After years of injuries, rehabs, and setbacks, shes now focused on helping others navigate those same challenges.
She revealed shes actively pursuing certifications in personal training and massage therapy, with the goal of working directly with athletes especially wrestlers dealing with recovery and performance needs.
Though shes stepping away from the ring, Nixon Newell isnt stepping away from wrestling. Her next move is about giving back, lifting others up, and being the kind of support system she once needed herself.
