Miro returns to the ring following AEW exit
Formerly known as Rusev in WWE, the wrestling star entered AEW back in September 2020 as Kip Sabian's Best Man.

Later, with a new character called The Reedemer, Miro achieved a TNT Championship in May 2021 after defeating Darby Allin.
Finally, at the beginning of February 2025, Miro left AEW after months of inactivity. The star had not wrestled since he beat Andrade El Idolo at AEW World's End in December 2023. His latest fight against Alberto El Patron was held at the Qatar Pro Wrestling Super Slam III.

Could Miro go back to WWE? Speculation continues
The news about the departure of Miro from AEW is something that fans saw coming. Initially, it was believed that his absence from shows was related to his several injuries, which might have been true at some point. However, in February, news broke that Miro was released from his contract after not being seen on AEW television since 2023.
Speculation is rife that Miro is set to make a return to WWE, where he previously spent a decade, as he had signed a developmental deal in 2010. During his period on the company, Miro spent 6 years on the main roster and captured the WWE United States Championship on three occasions. As of date, neither Miro nor the WWE have confirmed or denied these rumors.
