Tegan Nox is one of NXT’s international stars.
Nox is from Bargoed, Wales, and wrestled across the United Kingdom before signing with WWE in 2017. Only 25, she has already persevered through intense physical pain, most notably in 2018 when she tore her ACL and MCL in a Mae Young Classic match against Rhea Ripley.
Wednesday marks one of the biggest nights in Nox’s wrestling career as she wrestles Dakota Kai in a steel cage match on NXT. Nox spoke with Sports Illustrated to discuss her program with Kai, overcoming adversity, and her future goals in pro wrestling.
