Trey Miguel Departs AEW Shortly After Signing Contract
The wrestling world is buzzing with the news of Trey Miguel’s unexpected departure from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This development follows Miguel’s notable absence from AEW programming and his recent announcements on social media.
Trey Miguel’s Official Announcement
On January 18, 2025, Trey Miguel took to Instagram to inform fans that he was “taking a break from wrestling.” This statement arose after he deleted AEW-related tweets and missed the January 17 episode of AEW Collision, where his fellow Rascalz teammates made their debut.
Contract Termination Details
According to a report from Fightful Select, Trey Miguel was released from his AEW contract just days after signing it. His contract began shortly after the expiration of his TNA deal at the end of 2025. Despite initial expectations, Miguel’s time at AEW was short-lived.
- Miguel’s AEW deal was expected to be multi-year, similar to his Rascalz teammates.
- On January 14, Miguel was not present backstage during the filming of the debut segment.
- The release was reportedly amicable, but specific reasons were not disclosed.
Background of Trey Miguel
Trey Miguel had a distinguished presence in wrestling since joining TNA in 2018. He participated in an emotional reunion of his group on TNA television in late 2025. While his Rascalz colleagues, Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, secured contracts with WWE in prior years, Miguel took a different journey that included appearances in WWE NXT during 2024 and 2025 before joining AEW.
Impact on The Rascalz
With Miguel’s departure, AEW’s plans for The Rascalz will proceed as a trio. Fans are left contemplating the potential that could have emerged from having Miguel alongside Xavier and Wentz in their AEW debut.
As discussions grow around this change, fans are encouraged to share their thoughts. Was it a mistake for AEW not to wait for the complete group to debut? Or does this release signify a better opportunity for both Miguel and AEW? The conversation continues on Filmogaz.com.
