During a WWE NXT live event at the “Download Festival” this weekend, NXT Superstar Tegan Nox (Nixon Newell) suffered what is being described as a “minor injury”. Nox was teaming with Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai to face Lacey Evans, Bianca Belair and Nina Samuels. While Nox, LeRae and Kai picked up the win, Nox reportedly suffered a leg injury during the match.
According to PROGRESS’ Jim Smallman, the injury is a “minor” one. Nox did not work her scheduled match against Jinny at the PROGRESS 71 event. She was replaced by Dakota Kai.
Hope @NixonNewell is ok! looked angry and upset after her six woman tag match. Desperately unlucky if she’s injured again. #NXTDownload #NXT pic.twitter.com/JmG2mHaw3D
