7 Wrestlers Who Got Fired RIDICULOUSLY Fast

Trey Miguel was hired-then-fired by All Elite Wrestling over a 24 hour period in 2026 that saw the rest of his stable brought to Dynamite and Collision while he seemingly remained part of Total Nonstop Action.

Allegedly a Warner Brothers Discovery decision rather than one made by anybody at AEW specifically, former TNA Rascalz member Trey Miguel shockingly didn't join Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier or Myron Reed when the group arrived in AEW back in January 2026, despite initially being signed alongside the group. The move was linked to antisemitic and homophobic remarks Miguel had made several years earlier, and subsequent reporting by Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez backed up that the decision had "come from the top".

Miguel himself offered insight, posting online that; "I've made a lot of mistakes in my time...I've always apologized and did my best to put a better foot forward after. I don't preach hate and I don't take any pride in being hateful. I'm a man of faith, I believe in forgiveness and only ever preach that. I'm a different man today." The wrestling world then turned, as it often does. 

His record makes for unique reading as a result; it's very much as if he never left. Miguel worked what ostensibly would have been his last TNA match against Wentz and Reed on a December edition of Impact, but was back in January after a handful of indies to work the Feast Or Fired Battle Royal.
