The Rascalz officially sign contracts with AEW, debut teased

The Rascalz are officially #AllElite and will be debuting in AEW soon.

The group’s debut was teased Wednesday on AEW Dynamite shortly after a Fightful Select report revealed that AEW had signed all four men — Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Dezmond Xavier and Myron Reed — to contracts.

The report also stated that The Rascalz were backstage during Dynamite with their signing coming a week after former TNA wrestler Jake Something recently made his AEW return and signed a contract.

Fightful reported that all four men are under multi-year deals after their various TNA contracts expired. While TNA attempted to retain The Rascalz, AEW reportedly came in with a better offer.

Reed’s planned bout with Leon Slater on TNA’s AMC debut was pulled earlier this week. While Reed was said to be happy to work the committed date, the match was canceled due to WWE possibly requiring Slater for their European tour or due to the contract situation.

While Reed and Xavier were never under TNA contracts, Miguel and Wentz’s deals expired at the end of 2025. The report also claimed that there was at least one member of the group who was determined to leave TNA.
