Trey Miguel just re-signed with TNA Wrestling a few months ago, but he’s already getting ready to negotiate another contract. The former X-Division Champion revealed that his latest deal was only for six months, and after signing two short-term contracts in 2026, he’s hoping TNA will finally offer him something longer.
During an exclusive interview with Cultaholic Wrestling’s Tom Campbell, Miguel revealed that he signed a six-month deal in January before agreeing to another six months in June. That means he’ll be back at the negotiating table before the end of 2026, although he made it clear he has no interest in leaving TNA.
“In January, I only re-signed for six months. In June, re-signed for six months. Before the end of this year, we’ll have to negotiate a new contract. I’m hoping to get more than just six months. I think I’ve made it evident over the past years that TNA’s my home. I love TNA. I’m not displeased to be here by any stretch of the imagination.”
As Ringside News covered back in July, Miguel previously explained that he wanted to stay with TNA after watching the company survive bad television deals, empty arenas during the pandemic, and years of uncertainty. At the time, he made it clear that he wanted to be part of TNA’s future. What he didn’t reveal was that the contract he’d just signed would only keep him around for another six months.
Miguel also admitted that his contract situation became especially frightening when he broke his knee earlier this year. He was sidelined for roughly four months, and with his previous deal nearing its end, he feared TNA might decide not to bring him back. Instead, the company reached out about another contract while he was still recovering.
“It was crazy because when I broke my knee I was actually really afraid because for those four months that I was out, that was at the end of my deal. And TNA had reached out and asked me to re-sign while I was out on injury and I was really afraid that that might not be the case because I’m not there right now, you know. So on top of just missing the show, I was afraid that I would be missing work beyond four months and that I wouldn’t have anything to come back to.”
Miguel’s injury came at TNA Rebellion in April, when he suffered a fractured patella during his match against Mustafa Ali. He eventually returned to the ring in August, but he’s still hoping to get some long-term security after everything he’s been through. Miguel joked that he’s signed so many TNA contracts at this point that he might as well start collecting them.
“I’m really grateful that they’ve continued to offer me more contracts. I think I’ve signed like five or six TNA contracts at this point, which is cool. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing but if we can just sign it for one more three-year deal I would be chill. I might get a frame with all my TNA contracts.”
Miguel’s contract situation is particularly interesting considering he was released from AEW just days after signing earlier this year. He returned to TNA shortly afterward and has repeatedly called the promotion his home. Now, after two six-month agreements and a serious injury scare, he’s hoping his next contract will finally give him three years of stability instead of another short-term deal.
Miguel isn’t looking for a way out of TNA. He wants to stay, and he’s made that pretty damn clear. The question now is whether TNA is willing to give someone who’s spent nearly eight years with the company the longer contract he’s asking for.
Do you think TNA should give Trey Miguel the three-year contract he wants, or should the company continue offering shorter deals? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
