PWMania.com previously reported that professional wrestling veteran Trey Miguel was released by AEW shortly after signing with the company.
This decision was reportedly due to a homophobic comment he made in response to an online troll in 2020. Following his release, Miguel announced that he would be “taking a hiatus” from wrestling. However, he returned to TNA during last week’s episode of iMPACT on AMC.
Since then, Miguel has shared his thoughts on Instagram regarding his hectic week. He mentioned that he was close to retiring from wrestling and expressed gratitude to TNA Wrestling for “saving” his dream.
Miguel wrote, “I came very close to quitting. My heart was broken.. I felt like wrestling hated me to be quite honest. I hadn’t felt a hurt or a loss like that in a very long time. I didn’t answer calls or texts and I spent a little over a week contemplating what’s next. I felt like my dream died as quickly as it was realized. But it’s in moments like this that god will show you how strong you actually are. But if it weren’t for the support system that God has blessed me with I don’t know if I would have been able to turn that decision around. I’m not everyone’s favorite wrestler, I don’t strive to be. I strive to make a kids dreams come true who had a very hard childhood and only ever wanted to be one thing, a pro wrestler. Words can’t describe how eternally grateful I am for @tnawrestling for saving this dream for me. And to the ones who encouraged me to stick it out I will forever be in debt to. If you supported me through this, I love you. If you didn’t, I still love you. There’s no room in my heart for hate. Now with that being said I have to show the world what I’m made of and I’m just thankful to still have that opportunity.”
Miguel will appear on this week’s episode of iMPACT, where he will find out the result of his Feast or Fired briefcase alongside the other match winners.
