A recent AEW release has reportedly left some talent on the roster frustrated.
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.
It was later revealed that Miguel had been released from his AEW contract. We now have an update as to why he was released, and frustration among the talent over this happening.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), Trey Miguel’s release was a decision above AEW. And it’s heavily implied that this came from Warner Bros. Discovery. This stems from a homophobic post that Miguel posted in 2020 and quickly apologized for.
Sapp reports that the reaction in the company is one of frustration as Miguel and the rest of The Rascalz have good relationships with many in the company. With talents believing there are standards applied to AEW that don’t apply to other WBD properties.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
