In a move that has left many in the WWE universe scratching their heads, AEW has made it official: The Rascalz have joined their roster. The signing of the high-flying trio, which consists of Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, and Denzo Fury, marks a significant coup for All Elite Wrestling as they continue to build their roster for the year ahead.
The Rascalz’ WWE Tenure Was Marked by Highs and Lows
The Rascalz, who originally made their WWE debut in 2018, had been a staple of the WWE’s 205 Live brand. During their time in the company, they established themselves as one of the top tag teams in the promotion, known for their high-flying moves and chemistry in the ring. However, in recent months, the trio had seen a decline in their push, with some speculating that they were on the outs with the company.
“I think it’s no secret that The Rascalz had been on the backburner for a while,” said a WWE insider, who wished to remain anonymous. “They had been doing some great work on 205 Live, but it seemed like they were stuck in a rut. I’m not surprised they’ve ended up in AEW, but I do think it’s a shame for WWE, as they were a talented trio.”
AEW’s Big Move to Steal Talent from WWE
The signing of The Rascalz is the latest in a trend of WWE talent jumping ship to AEW. In recent months, the promotion has made a number of high-profile signings, including the likes of CM Punk and Adam Cole. While WWE has historically been seen as the premier destination for professional wrestlers, AEW’s willingness to take risks and offer more creative control has made it an attractive option for many.
“AEW has been doing a great job of targeting the right talent and offering them opportunities that WWE can’t match,” said a source close to Cody Rhodes, who has been instrumental in building AEW’s roster. “The Rascalz are a great fit for what we’re trying to do. They’re a team that can really help us push the boundaries of what’s possible in the ring.”
What’s Next for The Rascalz in AEW?
With their signing now official, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for The Rascalz in AEW? The trio is expected to make their debut on the upcoming episode of Dynamite, where they’ll likely face off against one of AEW’s top teams.
According to a source close to the promotion, The Rascalz are being lined up for a major push in the coming months. “They’re going to be a big part of our tag team division,” said the source. “We’re looking at them as a top team, and we’re going to give them the opportunities they deserve.”
WWE’s Response to The Rascalz’ Departure
While The Rascalz’ departure from WWE may be a blow to the company, it’s not all bad news. With the trio gone, WWE may have an opportunity to retool their 205 Live brand and bring in some new talent.
According to a source within WWE, the company is already looking at a number of potential replacements for The Rascalz. “We’re always looking for new talent to bring in and freshen up our roster,” said the source. “This could be a great opportunity for us to bring in some new guys and see what they can do.”
Conclusion
The signing of The Rascalz is a significant coup for AEW, and a blow to WWE. As the promotion continues to build its roster, it’s clear that they’re willing to take risks and offer creative control to attract the best talent. While WWE may be losing out on a talented trio, it’s also an opportunity for the company to retool and bring in some new faces. Only time will tell what’s next for The Rascalz, but one thing is certain: they’re going to be a force to be reckoned with in AEW.
