Tegan Nox Says She Misses Wrestling, But Is Happy To Give Her Body Time Off

Tegan Nox (Nixon Newell) hasn't been in the ring since October 2021 following her WWE release in November, but she is excited to get back out there.

Nox was drafted to WWE Raw in the WWE Draft, splitting her from Shotzi, but never appeared on television. Her 90-day non-compete clause has expired, making her a free agent.

Speaking to Chris Denker on Into The Danger Zone, Nox provided an update on her future.

"I miss wrestling, I really do. I miss being in front of the fans, building a bond with the fans, throwing myself around, but it's been nice to give my body a little bit of time off. Wrestling for ten years, almost nonstop, even when I was in rehab, I was still working out every day, doing hard stuff. For ten years, my body was like, 'I fucking hate you.' The last 90 days, I've been in the ring like three times. My body has needed to relax and recharge. It's been bloody lovely, but I do miss wrestling. I'm hoping that soon I can figure something out," she said.

Nox has battled knee injuries throughout her career, but says her knees are fine and she is healthy.

When asked what's next for her, she replied, "Whoever books me [laughs]. There are so many people from so many different companies I want to work with. I'd like to work with Ruby Soho again, we did some stuff on the Indies and CHIKARA, which was so much fun. She's one of my favorite people to be in the ring with. I'd like to actually have time with Deonna to go longer than three minutes, including entrances. Chelsea Green, Mickie James, Serena Deeb. Let me wrestle Serena. Taylor Wilde. I have such a huge list of people I want to work with, not just from IMPACT or AEW, just worldwide. I'm happy to be a free agent for a little while, but still get my toes wet until I eventually find somewhere that I feel is home. Who knows when that will be."
