Trey Miguel’s AEW Departure: A Developing Story

The professional wrestling world is buzzing with questions surrounding the abrupt release of Trey Miguel from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Just days after signing with the company, Miguel announced he was taking time away from wrestling, followed by reports of his contract being terminated. The situation remains shrouded in mystery, but new details are emerging.

What Bryan Alvarez Revealed

Bryan Alvarez, reporting on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio (available on YouTube and in audio format), provided some crucial updates. Alvarez, alongside Dave Meltzer, discussed the circumstances surrounding Miguel’s departure. According to Alvarez, the decision didn’t originate from within AEW’s talent or from Tony Khan himself.

“No one’s really saying much. 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,” Alvarez stated.

The Exodus from TNA and Arrival in AEW

Miguel, along with Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, and Myron Reed, recently concluded their agreements with TNA Wrestling at the end of the year. The quartet then signed with AEW, generating excitement among fans. However, during Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, observant viewers noticed Miguel’s conspicuous absence from a backstage segment featuring Wentz, Xavier, and Reed.

Speculation and Uncertainty

While rumors are circulating, the exact reason for Miguel’s release remains unclear. Alvarez’s report suggests an external factor influenced the decision, but the specifics are yet to be revealed. The wrestling community is eagerly awaiting further information as the story unfolds. This situation highlights the often-complex and unpredictable nature of the professional wrestling industry.
