But what she wants is to move past her injuries and forge a new path for her character. She's fought for the Women's Tag Team Championships twice, participated in the first Women's War Games Match and was in this year's Royal Rumble. Now 25 years old, Nox made a triumphant return to NXT in June 2019 and has been an integral part of the brand since. She made it to the quarterfinals against Rhea Ripley, but couldn't finish the match after tearing multiple ligaments in her other knee. Unfortunately, though, the Wales native tore her ACL before the tournament began and was replaced.Ī year later, Nox was poised to make a huge splash in the 2018 Mae Young Classic using her previous injury as motivation to go far in the tournament. She was signed to the WWE in 2017 and was set to participate in that year's Mae Young Classic. Nox's injuries have played a big part of her journey in NXT. "I'm ready to write my own story that doesn't involve an injury. "I'm going to prove myself to people that I'm not 'the comeback kid' anymore," Nox told Newsweek on Tuesday. But for Nox it's all about Wednesday and pushing her character and performance forward. She won the number one contendership the first night of the Great American Bash show two weeks ago, and recently she came out as a lesbian, making her one of the few openly gay wrestlers in WWE. The title shot could be just the latest life-changing moment for Nox, who's had several in recent weeks. Tegan Nox-whose real name is Steffanie Newell-will be taking on NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai for the coveted title. With so many talented women, any one of them can slide into the main event picture. The NXT Women's division is the deepest in all of WWE.
