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

Dezmond Xavier is back in TNA, for now. He made an appearance at TNA Turning Point to rejoin his Rascalz brothers, Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. However, Fightful Select has confirmed that Xavier is not currently under contract with TNA. Despite this, there are creative plans for him moving forward with the team.

In addition, it has been reported that Zachary Wentz’s deal with TNA is set to expire at the end of the year. The group plans to evaluate their options going forward, and there is expected to be significant interest in The Rascalz outside of TNA.

Xavier 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. During this time, he 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, Xavier and Wentz formed the team MSK. They went on to win the 2021 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and became two-time NXT Tag Team Champions. Additionally, Xavier captured the NXT North American Championship in October 2022, holding the title for a record-setting 269 days.

Following a significant back injury, Xavier made his return in April 2024, reuniting briefly with The Rascalz. Unfortunately, his tenure was cut short when he was released in October 2025.

Ole Miss students celebrate ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ night with Erika Kirk and JD Vance

Students braved cold and rainy weather at The University of Mississippi to attend the “This Is The Turning Point” tour stop hosted by Turning Point USA (TPUSA). The event featured Vice-President J.D. Vance and Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, who now serves as CEO of TPUSA.

The crowd began forming early in the morning outside The Pavilion at Ole Miss and stretched across the campus. Many students wore MAGA hats and “Freedom” shirts as a tribute to the slain founder, Charlie Kirk.

Fox News Digital spoke with attendees about their reasons for coming and their support for J.D. Vance and TPUSA. Ole Miss student Nicholas called the event a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” noting, “We’re honoring Charlie Kirk and his message to the world, and I think that it’s really important as a student to stand for what you believe in. That’s why I’m here, and we’ve been standing in the rain.”

Another student added, “I’m here because I joined the club at the beginning of the school year, and I just want to support the movement.” Others expressed excitement about seeing the speakers. Grant said, “I’m so excited to see J.D. Vance and Erika.” Jack remarked, “We’re all very excited to see J.D. Vance. He could be the next president.”

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet shared on X (formerly Twitter) that over half of the student body—14,000 of 27,000 students—registered for the event, alongside 13,000 adults who could not be accommodated due to venue capacity limits.

The event highlighted the continued influence and enthusiasm surrounding Turning Point USA at Ole Miss and beyond.
