Dustin Rhodes breaks silence on ex-WWE star and her partner's walkout controversy in AEW

A former WWE star and her partner walked out of a recent AEW show, and Dustin Rhodes presented his opinion on the same. The Natural offered advice for the stars through social media as well.

Dustin Rhodes reacts to the ex-WWE star, Nixon Newell (fka Tegan Nox), and her partner, Miranda Alize, walking out on AEW. It was reported that Nixon and Miranda were unhappy with getting very little time for their tag match against Tay Melo and Anna Jay on Collision last Saturday, so they walked out.

Nixon Newell later confirmed that she was not okay with getting only 3 minutes for her tag bout on Collision. The internet wrestling community has given mixed reactions to the controversy. Meanwhile, the current AEW star, Dustin Rhodes (fka Goldust), also gave his opinion.

Taking to the X social media platform, Dustin advised Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize to say yes to an opportunity to do what the company wants:

"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," Dustin wrote.

The erstwhile Tegan Nox made her AEW in-ring debut on Collision two weeks ago, and she was reportedly scheduled for her next match last Saturday before the controversy.
