Early life[]

Professional wrestling career[]
Independent circuit (2009–present)[]
McBrayer began training sometime in 2009 at the Glass City Pro Wrestling School until he eventually moved to Dayton, Ohio where he studied under the tutelage of Dave Crist.[1]
On July 8, 2017, Miguel teamed with his future partners Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz for the first time to defeat Ohio Is 4 Killers (Dave Crist, Jake Crist and Sami Callihan) in a doors match at CZW's iPPV EVILution. On April 17, 2018, at CZW's Welcome to the Combat Zone, Miguel was introduced as the newest member of The Rascalz alongside Myron Reed. After this, Miguel and Reed began teaming across the entire independent circuit as Wentz and Xavier, the other two Rascalz members teamed as well. Together, Miguel and Reed won the IWA Mid-South Tag Team Championship once on March 8 and the Rockstar Pro Trios Championship twice (once with Alex Colon and Dustin Rayz), on May 4 and May 9 respectively.
On September 1, 2017, Miguel defeated Jeremiah for the Rockstar Pro Championship, a title which he held for 91 days before dropping it to Jake Crist. Miguel then regained the title on February 2, 2018, defeating Crist but later that same night he lost the title to Jon Murray.
At a cross promotional event for Fight Club: PRO and Destiny Wrestling on April 4, 2019, Miguel defeated Penelope Ford, Kip Sabian, and Jake Atlas for the vacant Destiny Wrestling Next Generation Championship. He then made his first title defense on August 9, against Aiden Prince, Kevin Blackwood, Lionel Knight and Ryan Wright in a successful attempt.
On May 12, 2019, Miguel and Wentz won the WC Big Top Tag Team Championship at WrestleCircus event Encore by defeating The Dirty Devils (Andy Dalton and Isaiah James) and The Riegel Twins (Logan and Sterling) in a three-way match.[6][7] After a successful title defense against Riegel Twins and Private Party at Big Top Revival,[8] Miguel and Wentz vacated the titles on July 25.
Impact Wrestling[]
Early appearances (2017–2018)[]
Before being officially signed to Impact Wrestling, Miguel competed in a few "tryout" matches. The first being on the August 20, 2017 episode of Impact!, teaming with Jon Bolen where they lost to Ohio Versus Everything (Jake and Dave Crist). The latter being Miguel's trainer and the guy who helped break him into the company. On the September 6, 2018 episode of Impact!, Miguel made his second appearance by teaming with Zachary Wentz and Ace Austin as enhancement talents again against Ohio Versus Everything (Dave Crist, Jake Crist, and Sami Callihan) in a losing effort.[9]
The Rascalz (2018–2020)[]
A vignette aired promoting the debut of Rascalz on the November 15 episode of Impact!. On the November 29 episode of Impact, Miguel made his official debut alongside Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz as the trio known as The Rascalz, accompanying them ringside when Xavier and Wentz competed in a tag team match against Chris Bey and Mike Sydal.[10] In mid-2019, Trey and the Rascalz began a feud against Moose, which led to all the Rascalz making their pay-per-view debut against Moose and The North in a six-man tag team match at Rebellion, which Rascalz lost. During the match, the ring names of Xavier, Miguel and Wentz were shortened to Dez, Trey and Wentz respectively.
On the November 13, 2019 episode of Impact, Trey became the number one contender for the X Division Championship by pinning Petey Williams in a six-way match, but failed to win the title from Ace Austin at Hard to Kill.[11] At Slammiversary, Trey received his first shot at the vacant Impact World Championship in the main event against Ace Austin, Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann, and the returning Eric Young. However, Eddie Edwards would go on to win the match and become the new Impact World Champion. On November 11, it was revealed that The Rascalz would soon be leaving Impact and had interest from both WWE and All Elite Wrestling. During the November 17 tapings, The Rascalz were given a "send-off" by the Impact locker room. Trey confirmed the following day that he, Dez and Wentz were in fact done appearing on Impact Wrestling. Dez and Wentz went on to sign with WWE while Miguel remained a free agent.
X Division Champion (2021–present)[]
Miguel made a surprise return to Impact Wrestling on the January 26, 2021 episode of Impact, teaming with Tommy Dreamer, Rich Swann, and Willie Mack to defeat Chris Bey, Moose, Ken Shamrock, and Sami Callihan.[12] During his return match, Trey's ring name was reverted to Trey Miguel. After many various low level feuds, Miguel began a heated high level feud with Callihan based on Callihan's theory that Miguel couldn't survive without Dez and Wentz. Throughout the deeply personal feud, Miguel would get tormented by Callihan in many ways including being forced to watch his trainee Sam Beale get beat down and be constantly told he "lost his passion". After weeks of back and forth attacks and mind games, the feud culminated in a last man standing match at Rebellion, which Miguel won.
In September, Miguel entered a tournament to determine the new X Division Champion, where he defeated Alex Zayne and Laredo Kid in the first round.[13] At Bound for Glory, Miguel defeated El Phantasmo and Steve Maclin in the final to win the Impact X Division Championship.[14][15]
