Trey Miguel’s Surgery Derails WWE NXT Tag Title Plans

One big thing: Trey Miguel’s minor surgery forces WWE to change NXT tag team title match plans

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) were set to face NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer, but a last-minute medical issue forced WWE to pivot.

• Miguel underwent minor surgery, sidelining The Rascalz from their title opportunity.
• The Street Profits replaced The Rascalz in the match.
• The match ended in a no-contest due to interference from Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu.

Why it matters

This sudden change highlights the unpredictable nature of pro wrestling and WWE’s ability to adapt on the fly. It also showcases the increasing integration between NXT and main roster talent as NXT prepares for its move to The CW in October.

By the numbers

• 2: Number of confirmed main roster stars (CM Punk and Randy Orton) scheduled to appear on NXT’s first two CW shows.
• 3: Number of “SmackDown” stars (Tonga, Loa, and Fatu) who interfered in the replacement tag title match.

The big picture

The TNA Wrestling and WWE NXT partnership has seen mixed results:

• Positive outcomes for stars like Jordynne Grace, Joe Hendry, and Alexander Hammerstone.
• Setbacks for The Rascalz, including Wes Lee’s attack on his former teammates.

What’s next

As NXT transitions to The CW, fans can expect more crossovers between NXT and main roster talent, potentially increasing viewership and creating fresh storylines.
