Last week, Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, known as The Rascalz in Impact Wrestling, were apart of the new WWE Performance Center recruits. However fans were surprised that the third member of The Rascalz, Trey Miguel, hadn’t signed with the company.
During last night’s post-TakeOver WarGames media call, Triple H was asked about the absence of Trey Miguel in the newest class of the Performance Center recruits.
“I don’t want to talk about why people are or are not here,” Triple H prefaced. “Obviously, there’s a lot that goes into all of that, but for me, the people that do come here, it’s seeing the heart and the passion. That really comes down to a lot of it. It’s a passion business. You have to be all in. You have to be invested in this, every bit of you, and sometimes I see people that have been in a long time and it shows that they’ve been in a long time. I don’t know, sometimes that passion isn’t there.
“I see people that are new to it, and sometimes I see, ‘oh, they like this, but it’s not everything to them.’ There are times there are people that I see coming into the door now where I just go, man, there passion and their heart, they live, breathe and eat this. When they’re at the PC, every time I see them, there’s a huge smile on their face. It’s the greatest day of their life being in the doors, and training, and getting in the ring with people and learning. Those are the people we want here. That’s not to say anything about the names I mentioned, other than that the people that are here is because of that heart and that passion. Like you said, their future’s bright. There’s a lot more coming in behind them.”
Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer recently reported that Miguel is currently considering both WWE and AEW and has yet to make a decision on where he will sign.
Trey Miguel took to Twitter to address his in-ring hiatus following Triple H’s words on the media call.
“I feel like it is worth mentioning AGAIN that a month and a half ago my Nephew was born prematurely and is in isolated care until what would have been his actual due date,” Trey wrote. “Meeting a healthy baby boy is more important to me than anything else. I’m sure you all can respect that.”
