Alex Shelley has praise for Trey Miguel.
Alex Shelley is set to wrestle Trey Miguel twice this weekend. First, at IMPACT Victory Road, Shelley will team with Chris Sabin to challenge Miguel & Zachary Wentz for the IMPACT Tag Team Championships. One night later, Shelley will put the IMPACT World Title on the line against Miguel at the IMPACT 1000 TV tapings.
Speaking to Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Shelley discussed Miguel's rise in IMPACT Wrestling to where he is now.
"Trey's journey is a profound one. He is somebody who I met when I first came back to IMPACT during the pandemic. Right away, I gravitated towards him. From then on, we became friends, but also partners, and he credits me with a lot of his 'university-level training,' which I think is really cool. To me, that's an honor, to be able to have fingerprints on guys. He's going to be the future of this company, one way or another. X-Division, Tag division, Heavyweight division...World division? I'm so proud of him. Having persevered in a lot of ways, and granted, he behaves differently now, but at the same time, to face everything head-on and tackle all the odds he has, deserves nothing but respect," said Shelley.
When Trey returned to IMPACT in January 2021 after Wentz & Dezmond Xavier (Wes Lee in NXT) joined WWE, he credited Shelley for "saving his life." You can find his full comments by clicking here.
