In a significant development for TNA Wrestling, several high-profile talents have departed from the organization just days ahead of its debut on the AMC network. Among those who are no longer under contract is the entire Rascalz faction, consisting of Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Myron Reed, and Dezmond Xavier. These athletes are now free to seek new opportunities.
Departures Ahead of AMC Launch
The Rascalz faction, known for their dynamic performances, appears to have reached the conclusion of their contracts without any extensions being activated. Both Wentz and Miguel saw their deals expire at the end of 2025, prompting TNA’s decision not to continue their agreements. Myron Reed has updated his social media accounts to reflect his status as a free agent. Additionally, Dezmond Xavier had not secured a long-term contract after reuniting with the group late in the previous year.
Impact on Upcoming Programming
The ramifications of these departures have already affected TNA’s upcoming programming schedule. Myron Reed was slated for a crucial match on January 15, where he was set to challenge Leon Slater for the TNA X Division Championship. However, this bout has been omitted from promotional materials and online listings, indicating its cancellation.
Roster Stabilization Efforts
Despite these setbacks, TNA Wrestling is taking steps to solidify its roster. Noteworthy is Cedric Alexander, who has signed a new multi-year contract with the promotion. Veteran wrestler Cody Deaner has also secured an agreement to continue under his masked persona, the Home Town Man.
AMC Era iMPACT! Details
Looking ahead, the inaugural AMC era episode of iMPACT! is expected to feature a compelling main event. Frankie Kazarian will defend the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana, with Bully Ray serving as a special guest commentator. Additionally, fans can anticipate an appearance by AJ Styles during this highly anticipated broadcast.
