I first saw Tegan as Nixon Newell in a converted church in High Wycombe in January 2015, when she was only a year if that into the business, and I've seen her in many small buildings, larger shows, and even in Berwyn for SHIMMER, so it gave me a great sense of pride to see her on SmackDown last night, on FOX no less. We have these stories seeing people come up and make it, Tegan has a stronger connection with me than most, especially given what she's been through over the past couple of years.

First thing first... Her name being spelt with a ‘K’ seems to be an error from whoever makes the TV graphics, as the WWE.com report and her profile still has her name spelt without it. The YouTube video seems to follow the error for some reason.
Like I said in another thread, it was a bit odd that they had her straight-up teaming up with Ripley after their history (especially since they actually brought Kai to the show too), but it was something that would have to be addressed sooner rather than later given they’re likely about to team up in WarGames. Good stuff for her nonetheless, she really seems to be making up for all that lost time.

If tonight was your first time seeing her, you'd assume she and Rhea are best buddies.

Shes super talented and is easily rootable but knowing wwe theyll turn her heel the moment she gets onto the main roster full time. As for Rhea, she is a badass but her whole attitude and look screams heel so i hope her teaming with Tegan is short term.

Loved seeing her rise, She was fantastic at Southside, although cut one of the worst promos ever when she shyly whispered into the mic that she wanted to face Jimmy havok in a ladder match lol
She seems like a genuinly good person so I hope she goes far, can't be many past Welsh WWE wrestlers?

Before Nox and this current influx through NXT UK (Andrews, Webster, Dennis, Wild Boar), the only Welsh wrestler that comes up as having had a WWE run was The People’s Choice himself, Mason Ryan. Of course there’s “Exotic” Adrian Street, but for all his success in the US, he never made an in-ring appearance in the WWF at any point. |

Was there when she became the first ever WCPW Women's Champion and the crowd were RED HOT for her. Always had a feeling that she would eventually get to the big leagues.

As I said in another thread, she should have teamed with her actual tag team partner Dakota Kai. However, if they are doing this to set up the two of them being on the same War Games team, one of them could have grabbed a microphone after the match and said "I'm glad we could put our differences aside" and then they shake hands or something. It would have taken like 30 seconds of the show. And apparently they had time to spare because we saw the entire Brock vs Cain match again. |

Per WWE storyline, Dakota Kai has an injury coming off the match with the Kabuki Warriors on Wednesday night. |

Still doesn't explain why they couldn't take 30 seconds for Nox and Ripley to acknowledge that they were enemies but are on the same side now. |

She’s very cute and very talented. She could be a big deal on a Raw or Smackdown whenever she moves to one of those shows.

She could put a heel in their place if they go too far and yet, still whomp the faces. |

She is also the 1st wrestler since Apollo Crews on July 16 & 17 to compete on Smackdown & NXT in the same week and by the way, Ripley is the 1st ever wrestler to compete on NXT UK & Smackdown in the same week.

Was great to see after she's had to miss so much time for injuries at the worst times.

When she does join the main roster full-time, she has a ready-made weekly segment: Nox On Fox.
You’re welcome, WWE.

She dropped the "K" because she doesn't want anybody thinking she's piggybacking off of her brother; the wildly successful former WWE Superstar, Mike Knox.

The YouTube video seems to follow the error for some reason. Or, her love of Kane has led her to change her name so that it matches the county he runs. |

I mean, it’s a different show and that storyline doesn’t apply. It would make zero sense to the regular SmackDown viewers if that were to happen. Should it happen? Yes. But on NXT. |
