Why Trey Miguel REALLY Got Fired from AEW: MJF’s Wife
Forget the corporate BS from Wrestling Observer. Here’s the real dirt: Trey dated MJF’s wife Alicia Atout years ago, and now he’s suddenly gone. Coincidence? I think not. Let’s break it down.
Ever since Trey Miguel vanished from The Rascalz’ AEW debut on Collision (January 17, 2026), the wrestling world has been buzzing. He signed with AEW alongside Dez, Wentz, and Reed after leaving TNA… then poof—released days later.
He posts on Instagram that he’s “taking a break from wrestling” and asks for space. Official reports say it was amicable and “came from up above” (not Tony Khan, per Bryan Alvarez on WOR).
But let’s be real: that’s the sanitized version. The real reason? MJF found out his wife Alicia Atout used to hook up with Trey Miguel, got salty, and pulled strings to get him out. Here’s why this makes perfect sense:
The Timeline That Doesn’t Lie
• 2018–2019: Trey Miguel and Alicia Atout were a public couple. They were all over each other’s socials, she interviewed him, and fans shipped them hard during their MLW/Indy days.
• Late 2023: Alicia starts dating MJF (they went public in November 2023, got engaged/ married by 2025).
• January 2026: The Rascalz sign with AEW. Trey posts about being “All Elite”… then deletes everything AEW-related overnight.
• January 17: Rascalz debut on Collision—without Trey.
• January 18: Fightful confirms release. Trey announces his break.
That gap? Years-old ex drama resurfacing the second Trey signs. MJF is the top guy, AEW World Champion, and he’s got pull. Imagine walking backstage and seeing your wife’s ex from back in the day now on the roster. Awkward? Try career-ending.
Fan Reactions & “Rumors Swirling”
Reddit threads (r/SquaredCircle, r/AEWOfficial) are full of fans connecting the dots:
• “I bet MJF had something to do with this!!!”
• “Trey used to date Alicia Atout, MJF’s wife.”
• “Someone on Facebook said MJF got him let go out of his contract.”
Even on X (Twitter), people are straight-up asking MJF: “Did u have something to do with trey Miguel getting released since he did date your wife Alicia Atout?” The IWC is convinced this is the real story, not some vague “corporate veto.”
Why “From Up Above” Could Be Code
Alvarez says it came from way up and had nothing to do with Tony Khan or talent issues. But who has more influence than the champ? MJF could’ve quietly gone to the suits (or even Tony) and said, “This guy’s gotta go—personal reasons.” Problem solved, no fingerprints.
Trey’s old tweets (he apologized for homophobic remarks in 2020) are another theory, but why sign him first if that was the issue? Nah, this feels way more personal.
Bottom Line
MJF protects what’s his. Alicia is his wife now. Trey? Ancient history. But history that just cost him an AEW contract. Classic wrestling drama—jealousy, exes, and power plays.
What do you think? MJF jealousy plot or corporate background check gone wrong?
