Ran into an issue last night while playtesting for the GP this weekend. Opponent attacks with two creatures, I flash in Hixus declare no blocks and allow damage to happen:
Both of his creatures should be exiled correct? My interpretation of the card is that Hixus will have to enter the battlefield before damage to get his trigger,
Or am I reading it wrong and he has to come in after damage as been done in main phase 2 or end phase to get the exile trigger (his interpretation of the card).
Thanks for your help!

You have the right idea. Hixus, Prison Warden triggers "whenever a creature deals combat damage to you", and in order to trigger he has to be on the battlefield at the time the triggering event would happen. The "if Hixus, Prison Warden entered the battlefield this turn" text is a condition for the trigger, not the triggering event.
Yesterday, I had the same problem with Hixus, three times!!!
I tried just after first Damage, after the End of Combat and on the Second Main Phase!!!
The text says "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, if Hixus, Prison Warden enters the battlefield this turn, exile that creature until Hixus leaves the battlefield."
By that text, I understand that the effect should take place regardless of when it enters the battlefield as long as it is on the same turn!
I really believe I would have won the game if it wasn't for that.

Does any one know if it is indeed a bug?
If not, when should / could I have casted it?
