After reports had circulated for a few days, Newell clarified what happened while live on her Twitch channel and said their departure was a respectful one. Recently Newell commented on the situation again on "The Wrestling Classic." "It just wasn't meant to be, that's how I'll keep it, because I've said my side," she said. As to whether or not the door to AEW is closed for her, Newell said she didn't think so, as she explained it wasn't like she and Alize stormed out of the taping. "It was never anything negative until the dirt sheets made it negative."
