Trey Miguels sudden AEW exit didnt just leave fans confusedit apparently frustrated a lot of people inside the company too.
According to Fightful Select, several AEW talents are unhappy about how the situation was handled, especially since Miguels release didnt come from Tony Khan, AEW creative, or anyone in the locker room. In fact, the reaction within AEW was reportedly one of disappointment, with multiple wrestlers backing Miguel and the Rascalz. Many felt he didnt deserve to be cut loose so quickly after signing. The reason? A double standard that some believe is being applied when it comes to Warner Bros. Discoverys involvement.
Sources even noted that there are WBD names whove made far more controversial comments and werent pulled from air or denied opportunities. Miguel, however, was dropped with little explanation.
It was emphasized: There was nobody in AEW that got him fired. When reached out to TNA sources, the message was the samethere had never been any backstage issues with Trey Miguel during his time there.
To add more context, Wrestling Observer Radio previously confirmed the release came from up abovenot AEW leadership. Bryan Alvarez also mentioned that Miguel had announced he was stepping away and asked fans to give him space, with Dave Meltzer adding, Yeah. Just leave me alone. Im gonna need some time. Even one WBD contact speaking off the record seemed to question the decision:
AEW never formally announced Trey Miguels signing or release, but behind the scenes, people are talkingand the frustration is real. With talent unhappy and no clear reason given, the handling of Miguels exit has become one of the more mysterious AEW stories in recent memory.
