Miranda Alize has released a statement.

Theyâ€ll paint you as the villain, but thatâ€s okay because youâ€re finally choosing yourself. This is where your freedom begins.â€
Alize and Newell addressed their situation with AEW in a Twitch stream last night, stating that there is no bad blood between them and the company. Newell also mentioned that she believes her in-ring career likely only has a year left, and she’s only interested in doing fun things before it ends.
The situation was addressed on last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, with Bryan Alvarez noting that Alize and Newell’s actions on Saturday were confusing to many backstage.
Alvarez said:
“There were so many people that were like, ‘What a stupid thing to do.’ That’s the one thing I heard over and over, what a stupid thing to do.”
Meltzer added, “They’re not under contract. If you want to do something there, first get over. There’s people who do stuff because they have leverage and can get away with doing it. They had no leverage.”
