Miro has officially requested his release from AEW (All Elite Wrestling), marking an end to a very disappointing run following buzz-worthy signing back in September 2020 which came after his run with WWE as Rusev, according to Fightful Select.
Miro landed with AEW with hopes of being utilized much better than he had in WWE and while things seemed to be trending in the right direction, Miro’s sporadic appearances on television, inconsistent booking and storylines that saw him start as Kip Sabian’s “Best Man” and then adapt to “The Redeemer”.
Miro had a memorable run as TNT Champion which lasted for 140 days before dropping the belt to Sammy Guevara, and it appears that Miro was never able to recover from the loss.
Miro is on a lucrative seven-figure contract and has been sidelined due to injury, but is reportedly healthy.
It is unclear if Tony Khan will grant Miro’s request, but it seems like the best outcome for both parties.
