IMPACT Wrestling’s Trey Miguel is enjoying a breakout run, and with a shot at the vacant X-Division Championship at Bound For Glory on Saturday, he’s looking forward to bringing back one of the division’s previous traits.
In a recent interview with Digital Spy ahead of the show, Miguel stated that if he wins the title on Saturday, he hopes use the gold to showcase some fresh up-and-coming talent.
“What I’d love more than anything is to, this isn’t as much as in my control as I would like it to be, but when I was a big fan of the X-Division as a child who was just getting hip to things, one of my favorite aspects about the X-Division was getting introduced to professional wrestlers that didn’t have an IMPACT contract,” Miguel said. “You would see some guy off the indies that you had no idea about but he gets his stuff in and he gets to show his stuff and it was always an X-Division match or an X-Division Championship match.
“What I would love more than anything is to give an opportunity to an unrecognised, high-performing talent who doesn’t have a contract and give the fans fresh faces and fresh matches and high-flying action and unpredictability, like we had before. This is no knock towards IMPACT but I feel like IMPACT or the X-Division is smaller than it’s ever been and that’s not the field I want to run on.”
Of course, Miguel has his work cut out for him, as he’ll be going up against both Steve Maclin and El Phantasmo in a three-way match. All three stars are hungry for the belt, but Miguel explained that if he emerges victorious, the X-Division Championship will be defended regularly against any and all challengers.
“I want as much competition and as many best matches as I can have in my catalogue as the X-Division Champion if it were to happen,” Miguel said. “So, if I get voted Class Presiden,t I want to challenge all students of all schools, private, or public to come challenge. If I could do anything, that would be it.”
