When AEW signed The Rascalz, fans were eager to see Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, and Myron Reed bring their high-energy chemistry to All Elite Wrestling. That excitement didn’t last long, though, as Miguel was unexpectedly released before the group ever made their planned debut on Collision, leaving many scratching their heads about what went wrong.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, the decision to part ways with Miguel didn’t originate from within AEW’s usual creative or talent channels. Alvarez reported that the move came from “up above,” stressing that it was not connected to AEW’s roster, locker room issues, or even Tony Khan himself.
Alvarez noted that while rumors are circulating, there has been very little clarity backstage. However, his understanding is that the situation stemmed from a higher level of authority outside the normal AEW structure, leading to Miguel’s sudden release.
This has led fans to speculate about possible external factors being involved. AEW has dealt with similar situations in the past, most notably with Jay Briscoe, who was kept off AEW television for an extended period due to past social media posts despite being highly regarded within the company. Because of that precedent, some believe outside oversight or network-related concerns could again be a factor here, though nothing has been confirmed.
As of now, Trey Miguel is reportedly taking time away from in-ring competition. With questions still unanswered, fans are left waiting to see if more details emerge about what truly caused such an abrupt ending to his AEW run — and what’s next for Miguel moving forward.
