• Dustin Rhodes Takes A Shot At Nixon Newell & Miranda Alize After AEW Collision Controversy
The situation surrounding Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize’s short AEW run has become one of the most talked-about backstage stories of the week, with several conflicting reports emerging about what actually happened.
They made their in-ring debut on AEW Collision at the start of the month, facing Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir in a losing effort. They were scheduled to wrestle Tay Conti and Anna Jay the following week, but walked out of the taping before the show began.
Some reports claim that the duo objected to losing back-to-back matches, while others suggest that they were frustrated after being given only three minutes for the bout. There were also accounts that Nixon Newell had a disagreement with Megan Bayne over how their first tag match should go, though she has publicly denied this and stated that she and Miranda were respectful at all times.
Amid the conflicting stories, AEW star Dustin Rhodes offered his perspective on the situation. He tweeted:
“When you get an opportunity to perform on television, you say yes! You do exactly what the company wants / WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE. Otherwise, good luck in ur future endeavors. #KeepSteppin #WorkEthic #Passion #Opportunity.”

“Just want to say it’s a very sad day finding out Ralph Mosca passed away. Lot of great times together — we booked FUW together for a while and he would come by my bar, Crazy Dave’s Sports Bar. We always laughed together, had some crazy times.
At the end of the day, I lost another brother in this pro wrestling business. Rest in peace. Condolences to the family and friends from Fidel Sierra, the Cuban Assassin, and Fantasy.”
