Alex Shelley, the current World Champion in IMPACT Wrestling, is set to face off against Trey Miguel in two high-stakes matches this weekend. The first match will see Shelley team up with Chris Sabin to challenge Miguel and Zachary Wentz for the Tag Team Championships at Victory Road. The following night, Shelley will defend his World Title against Miguel at the IMPACT 1000 TV tapings.
Shelley recently spoke about Miguel’s rise in the promotion during an interview on In The Weeds with Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl. He expressed his admiration for Miguel’s journey and their close friendship.
“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.
Shelley’s praise for Miguel’s potential and dedication to the sport is a testament to the impact he has made in IMPACT Wrestling. As the reigning World Champion, Shelley recognizes the talent and determination that Miguel possesses, and he believes that Miguel has the potential to become a major star in the company.
It is evident that Shelley holds Miguel in high regard, not only as a friend but also as a fellow competitor. Their upcoming matches at Victory Road and the IMPACT 1000 TV tapings will undoubtedly showcase their chemistry and skills in the ring.
As reported by Fightful, Shelley’s comments shed light on the respect and admiration he has for Miguel. The young star’s perseverance and ability to overcome obstacles have earned him the recognition of his peers and fans alike.
IMPACT Wrestling fans can look forward to an exciting weekend of matches, with Shelley and Miguel at the center of the action. The Tag Team Championship match at Victory Road and the World Title defense at the IMPACT 1000 TV tapings will undoubtedly be must-see events.
