Trey Miguel: I Wouldn’t Be Here Without Alex Shelley, He Never Let Me Quit and Made Me Undeniable

Trey Miguel reflects on the last couple of years in pro wrestling.

While speaking with the Johnny I Pro Show, Trey Miguel revealed that he was supposed to be with Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz when they made their way to WWE NXT, but the deal was pulled, and despite being down in the dumps not knowing where to go next, a good friend like Alex Shelley reminded Miguel that he wasn’t going to let him quit.

“Man, I wouldn’t be having this conversation with you right now if it weren’t for Alex Shelley. When Dez and Zach originally went to NXT, and I stayed at TNA, it was so hard. I remember when I got the news that I would not be going; contrary to popular belief, people think that that was a decision that I made. I did not make that decision. I wanted to go with my brothers. We did not wanna break this band up. But, I had the offer, and it was gone, and I wanted to quit. I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid to stand on my own two feet and I was afraid to go back to the company that just gave us this big goodbye backstage with my tail tucked. It was borderline embarrassing to me, and Shelley had taken me under his wing that year because Don Callis, for whatever reason said, ‘Hey, Shelley, I want you to look after The Rascalz,’ and Shelley and I, we really clicked and we became really close, and I remember January of 2021, we had a lot of deep conversations and he said this, ‘I’m not letting you quit. It’s time that we get to work and make you undeniable.’”

Miguel faced the same fate when he was supposed to join his boys in All Elite Wrestling, however, he was able to make his way back to TNA and is now the current International Champion with lots of fan support behind him.
