The Rascalz are officially All Elite, leaving TNA Wrestling and signing multi-year deals with AEW. Their move comes just one day before TNA’s highly anticipated debut on the AMC Network, sending shockwaves through the wrestling world.
The Rascalz Jump from TNA to AEW
Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, and Myron Reed have joined AEW, according to a report first broken by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select during AEW’s Maximum Carnage. AEW then confirmed the news themselves, flashing a short graphic just before the night’s main event, welcoming the faction to the company.
The Rascalz, known for their high-flying and energetic in-ring style, have been a fan-favourite group in TNA, and their jump to AEW continues a growing trend of top talent switching brands.
Why Did the Rascalz Leave TNA Wrestling?
According to Ross Sapp’s report, AEW simply came in with a better offer. TNA did try to retain the group, but the Rascalz felt that AEW gave them the best platform to grow creatively and financially.
Details from the report:
- Myron Reed and Dezmond Xavier were not under contract with TNA.
- Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz’s contracts expired at the end of 2025.
- At least one member of the group was set on leaving, but the decision was mutual and professional.
Despite leaving just ahead of TNA’s AMC Network premiere, it’s believed the split was respectful and the group left on good terms.
The Impact of Their Exit on TNA’s Big AMC Debut
Interestingly, Myron Reed was originally scheduled to face X-Division Champion Leon Slater on the debut episode of Thursday Night iMPACT! However, the match was suddenly cancelled.
Why? Sean Ross Sapp reports that Reed was ready to wrestle, but the match was likely pulled because WWE had requested Leon Slater to participate in a European tour the same week — not due to Reed’s departure.
This twist added another layer of drama to the timing of the Rascalz’ AEW signing, coming less than 24 hours before TNA’s high-profile relaunch.
Who Are the Rascalz?
The Rascalz originally gained fame in the U.S. independent circuit before making waves in Impact Wrestling (now TNA). Their signature mix of humour, charisma, and high-speed action made them standout performers.
A quick look at their recent journey:
- Dezmond Xavier (also known as Wes Lee in WWE) was released in October 2025.
- He returned to TNA and wrestled several matches throughout December.
- Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel were TNA regulars until their deals expired.
- Myron Reed, though not under contract, had been a frequent presence in TNA’s X-Division.
Together, the group has strong chemistry, exciting in-ring abilities, and a loyal fan base — all of which make them a valuable addition to AEW’s roster.
More TNA Stars Headed to AEW
The Rascalz are just the latest names in a string of talent moving from TNA to AEW. Over the past year, AEW has signed:
- Speedball Mike Bailey
- Josh Alexander
- Jake Doyle
- Ace Austin
With AEW continuing to expand its programming and roster, the company is becoming an attractive option for wrestlers looking for new creative opportunities and greater exposure.
What’s Next for The Rascalz in AEW?
While the Rascalz haven’t yet debuted inside an AEW ring, their signing has already created a buzz. Whether they enter the tag division, mix it up in trios matches, or challenge for singles gold, their arrival gives AEW another exciting, versatile faction.
Fans are now eagerly waiting to see when and how AEW introduces them on-screen — perhaps on Dynamite, Rampage, or even in a surprise at an upcoming pay-per-view.
