Backstage News On Dezmond Xavier’s TNA Contract Status After Return

Dezmond Xavier is back in TNA, for now. He appeared at TNA Turning Point to rejoin his Rascalz brothers, Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. However, Fightful Select has confirmed that Xavier is not under contract to TNA.

However, there are creative plans for him moving forward with the team. In addition to that, it is reported that Zachary Wentz’s deal with TNA is up at the end of the year. The group plans to evaluate their options moving forward, and there is expected to be interest in The Rascalz outside of TNA.

He first made a name for himself on the independent circuit and in TNA, where he was a co-founding member of the stable The Rascalz and won the 2017 GFW Super X Cup. He also held tag team championships in PWG, CZW, and AAW alongside his partner Zachary Wentz.

After signing with WWE in 2020, he and Wentz formed the team MSK. They won the 2021 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and became two-time NXT Tag Team Champions. Following Wentz’s release, Lee transitioned to a singles competitor and captured the vacant NXT North American Championship in October 2022. His reign lasted a record-setting 269 days.

After returning from a significant back injury in April 2024, he had a brief reunion with The Rascalz before his release in October 2025.
