The Rascalz held the PWR Tag Team Championship until March 3, 2019. They lost the titles in a three-way match. Myron Reed later left the group because Miguel, Xavier, and Wentz signed with another wrestling company called Impact Wrestling. Reed decided to wrestle for a different promotion.

Myron Reed made history again on January 21, 2022. He won the MLW World Middleweight Championship for a third time! He beat Yoshihiro Tajiri, Matt Cross, and Bandido in a four-way match. This made him a record three-time champion.
