Tony Khan’s AEW Signings Set to Shake Wrestling in 2026

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has significantly boosted its roster throughout this year under the leadership of Tony Khan, positioning the company for a critical year ahead. With a particularly strong tag team division, AEW showcases champions like FTR holding the World Tag Team titles, while new signings promise to shake up the scene in 2026. Among these, the addition of the Rascalz faction, including Zachary Wentz, Myron Reed, and Dezmond Xavier, marks an important move for AEW’s competitive lineup.

The Rascalz Integration and Unique Music Licensing

The Rascalz, once a quartet during their TNA tenure with former member Trey Miguel, joined AEW earlier this year in January. However, Miguel was released shortly after due to past controversies, leaving the trio active in the promotion. AEW has retained the trio’s TNA entrance song by licensing it from the music libraries it already owns, avoiding extra costs for their theme music. Meanwhile, Trey Miguel, after returning to TNA, uses a theme track he personally owns.

Future Prospects for the Rascalz in AEW

The progress of Wentz, Reed, and Xavier in AEW under Tony Khan’s guidance remains under scrutiny from fans and analysts. There is anticipation around the possibility of the group capturing either the AEW World Tag Team Championship or the World Trios Championship titles, which would solidify their position and impact within the company’s wrestling landscape.

Trey Miguel’s Gratitude and Resilience Following Release

After his sudden release from AEW, Trey Miguel contemplated quitting professional wrestling but found new footing by returning to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) based in Nashville. The former TNA X Division Champion expressed deep appreciation for the support during his difficult period, particularly crediting the TNA organization for standing by him.

“I planned to step away from wrestling after the week I went through. It was really hard on me mentally and emotionally. I didn’t think I could do it anymore. Thank you to everyone who had my back, especially . It was hard not to quit. But we can’t give up. Thank you God,” he wrote.
