3) The Reason Why Trey Miguel Hasn’t Signed With WWE
It was announced last week that WWE had signed Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz. They are best known for being 2 of the 3 members of The Rascalz. The only member not to sign yet is Trey Miguel.
Miguel took to Twitter to reveal the reason why he hasn’t signed anywhere yet. This is due to his nephew being born prematurely:
“I feel like it is worth mentioning AGAIN that a month and a half ago my Nephew was born prematurely and is in isolated care until what would have been his actual due date. Meeting a healthy baby boy is more important to me than anything else. I’m sure you all can respect that.”
My Take:
- This seems perfectly reasonable. I wish him and his family the best.
2) WWE Signs An Incredible Athlete
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has signed “the most decorated athlete” in company history. Her name is Anriel Howard and she has a very impressive background.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about her:
Also signed is Anriel Howard, 23, the most decorated athlete the company has ever signed. Howard was a 5-foot-11 forward who played college basketball at Mississippi State and Texas A&M and later briefly with the WNBA’s Seattle Storm. She was a second round draft choice of the Storm in 2019 and played a few games early last season before being cut. As a senior in 2019 at Mississippi State, she averaged 16 points and eight rebounds per game, was first team All-SEC and Honorable Mention All-American and helped lead her team to the NCAA tournament. She had played three seasons at Texas A&M and holds the school’s rebounding record with 1,002 boards, as well as the school record of 9.8 per game and had 32 double doubles (ten points scored, ten rebounds in the same game).
Her 439 rebounds in the 2017-2018 season are the ninth most in SEC history and was seventh in the nation. As a sophomore, she was 22nd in the nation in rebounds. When she came out of Westlake High School in Georgia, she was listed as the No. 16 prospect in the country. She was a four-sport star including winning the state championship twice in the triple jump and also was a star in volleyball and cross country. She was also the school’s homecoming queen, and was a National Honor Society winner and was looking at sports broadcasting as her career. She was a three-time all-state player who scored more than 2,000 points in high school and was nominated to the McDonald’s All-American team.
My Take:
- This is definitely some big praise. I am excited to watch her career in WWE and see how she does.
