Well don’t expect to see Alize and Newell coming back to tv anytime soon!

    Reminder: Nixon talked earlier this year about not being able to get booked & struggling with that.

    8 years in WWE, 4 on the main roster, you got one spot left on your punchcard bumpcard for the remainder of your career, you get romantically involved with a known MAGA choad (Alize), you get a 2nd chance in the only other televised big name show despite your ringwork being much more shit than it used to be due to injuries and time off and you tank it cause you don’t wanna lay down.

    Wrestling 1 fucking match for AEW, not even signed, and think they’re queen shits, fucking idiots.

    but…they’re not even signed.

    They’re essentially “local jobbers” or doing the indie circuit and they’re demanding they go over? Neither of them are even any good.

    Add to the fact that AEW, currently, is building a womens tag division thus you need a team like Tay Melo (who literally just came back from pregnancy) and Anna Jay to look strong as they were pretty much the first womens tag team before the damn division even existed. Both of whom have also been with the company since pretty much day one.

    Shit if I were TK I’d sign Hyan and Maya World just to stick it to Alize and Nixon because Hyan and World understand what’s going on and are more than willing to do the job. Add to the fact they stepped up at the last time to do said job. you want workers like that around.

      I would not at all be surprised if Hyan and Maya do get signed, you step up to help out in a pinch you get noticed and remembered well.

    This is a tangent but Mike Johnson really needs to work on his grammar. That headline and first sentence nearly gave me an aneurysm.

    Maybe it’s me but I had to re-read that headline several times and then read the article to understand it. Poorly worded.

    Now, regarding the talent. Gotta pay your dues. How you gonna complain about getting tv time and not having creative control. You aren’t even signed. Also if you aren’t going to win at least make a good impression at putting others over / selling, so that you will get better opportunities in the future. These women short term spending when they should be long term investing. SMH my head.

      Too many people leave WWE thinking having that acronym on their resume means they’re better than other people.

    Da fuq?

    That’s beyond dumb. They’re not even signed; WTF are they thinking?

    And I thought Miro refusing to job was dumb… At least he had an actual contract before he started being a pain.

      Alize is a antivax terfy MAGA twat (and while Nixon is the total opposite you gotta be mentally inept as a gay woman in 2025 America to be shacking up with MAGA trash and ignoring what they believe in) so neither of these women are particularly close to the field on which the “smart” tree blossoms.

      Hope they enjoy their future careers in the NWA tho!

    The duo were scheduled to put over Tay Melo and Anna Jay, but balked at the booking because they had already lost in their official debut last week.

    This is so funny, what a bizarre thing to get upset about in 2025.

      I doubt it. Isla’s been working ROH, doing whatever she’s been asked, been workin great (and is good friends bts with) GYV. She’s doing exactly the right thing the right way and being a literal model prospective employee independent contractor. She’s getting that graphic as long as she doesn’t call someone a slur on twitter or it comes out she kicks babies or something lol

      Per Fightful: They were fine losing, they balked at the fact that it was a quick 2min squash. Regardless they walked out an hour before the show and left em hanging.

        the wild thing is it was literally a stacked go home show for blood and guts featuring multiple matches for that angle which were obviously going to get priorty. it was never going to get longer than that.

          Bingo. And it sucks that it couldn’t have been longer but in a business like pro wrestling, not being willing to take that 3 mins can be the end of your career. Damned dumb decision by damned dumb people.

      i do get cautiously optimistic just since we have seen dirt sheets try and cause controversy where there is none about aew right before a big event but if thats the case then you should clear the air instead of being coy

      Well you see I did something stupid, but I don’t want to day that. So instead I’ll just be unnecessarily vague.
