On her most recent Twitch stream Nixon Newell (f/k/a Tegan Nox) explained what happened at AEW Collision: “‘Can you be here Saturday?’ ‘Yup.’ ‘You’ll have something on Ring of Honor.’ Cool. We turn up Saturday, hanging around, not told anything until just after doors open. We’re told, ‘You’re wrestling TayJay.’ Cool. We come up with a bunch of ideas and we’re ready. They walk away, come back, ‘By the way, it’s three minutes.’ Nobody is going to be happy with three minutes. We weren’t there going, ‘What the fuck? Three minutes? What the fuck?’ It was never that. It was, ‘Oh, we were told we were going to have a match of substance because the match didn’t happen. We just asked, ‘Is it three minutes?’ ‘Yup.’ Okay, after the promo we cut, we were told to make ourselves a credible tag team, so that’s what we did. We decided collectively as a partnership, a couple, a tag, as wrestlers independently, that three minutes is going to benefit no one in this match. It won’t make anyone look good. What we want to do as wrestlers is make us all look good. We said, ‘We really appreciate it.’ We were polite, we were respectful, we called our producer over and said, ‘I don’t think three minutes is going to benefit either of us. Not just us, but anyone in the tag team. We want what’s best for everyone. Respectfully, we deserve this to go to someone it can benefit.’ It went to the other two females, fair to them. There was never bad blood. We spoke to everyone involved. It wasn’t a, ‘Fuck you, we’re leaving.’ We spoke to a lot of people about this and they were all in agreement that three minutes wasn’t going to do good for anyone. A lot of people were in agreement with us. They text us, ‘All good. No problem. You’re free to go if you’d like.’ It’s a tiny venue. ‘We were like, ‘Let’s make space for people and we’ll head home.’ We were given the go ahead to leave, and we did. I told everyone at the beginning of the year, this is my last two years in wrestling. We’re already a year gone. I want to have fun this last year. It was never a bad thing on anyone’s part. We spoke to all parties involved and all agreed on everything. It was never an ego thing.”
Kazuchika Okada is promising to be a heel in Hiroshi Tanahashi’s final Wrestle Kingdom match: “I won’t be the old Rainmaker from NJPW, I’ll be the AEW Rainmaker. In AEW I’m really doing whatever I want, so I might just hit Tanahashi low, roll him up and send everyone home crying.”
