In a surprising move, AEW has reportedly secured the highly sought-after wrestling group, The Rascalz, leaving TNA behind. But here's the twist: it seems like money talked! According to sources, AEW outbid TNA with a better offer, convincing all four members to sign multi-year deals.
The wrestling world is abuzz with the news that Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, and Myron Reed will soon be making their debut in AEW. This comes after their successful stint in TNA, where Xavier and Wentz, under the names Wes Lee and Nash Carter, achieved tag team glory as MSK in WWE NXT. However, their time in NXT ended abruptly last fall.
Interestingly, only Miguel and Wentz were under long-term contracts with TNA, which expired on New Year's Eve. Despite one member's intention to leave TNA regardless, Tony Khan's pitch, backed by a more lucrative deal, convinced each Rascal to jump ship. And this is where it gets intriguing: could this be a sign of a potential bidding war between wrestling promotions for top talent?
The Rascalz have built a reputation for their unique, low-fi 'Treehouse' segments and their stoner comedy style, which has gained them a dedicated fan following. Their ability to entertain both in and out of the ring makes them a valuable asset to any promotion.
With their debut date in AEW yet to be confirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting the quartet's first appearance. Will they continue their winning streak and capture tag team gold in AEW as well? Only time will tell. What are your thoughts on this surprising acquisition? Do you think AEW's strategy of offering better deals will pay off in the long run, or is it a risky move that might spark a bidding war?
