Backstage Scoop: What's Behind Trey Miguel's AEW Release?

We have an interesting update regarding the shocking AEW release of The Rascalz’s Trey Miguel. AEW fans were buzzing last week when it was announced that the company had signed all four members of the former TNA faction, The Rascalz. Saturday night on AEW Collision, a backstage segment aired featuring The Rascalz members Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, and Myron Reed, but Trey Miguel was nowhere to be found. The following day, Miguel took to his Instagram Stories to announce he was taking a break from wrestling and to still support the rest of the faction. Shortly after his post, it was revealed by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select that Miguel had been released. But the reasoning behind said release was currently unknown. We now have an update regarding Miguel’s release from Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio that seemingly gives us more questions than answers. “No one’s really saying much,” Bryan Alvarez began. “Well, some people are saying certain things, but my understanding is whatever it is, it came from up above. I know there’s a lot of rumors, but it had nothing to do with anybody in AEW talent, anything like that, or Tony [Khan]. Something happened from way up, and he was released. That is what we know at this point about Trey Miguel.” [H/T: WrestlePurists] Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
