The year 2025 has been a rollercoaster ride for All Elite Wrestling (AEW). While the shows have been praised by fans, the company has also seen many of its well-known stars walk away. Some of the biggest names to leave include Ricky Starks, Rey Fénix, Saraya, and Miro.
Out of all these, Miro’s story has caught the most attention.
Miro’s Journey in AEW: Strong Start, Slow Finish
After being let go by WWE in 2020, Miro joined AEW with high hopes. At first, things looked great for him. He was built up as a strong and unstoppable force, even winning the TNT Championship. Fans loved his “God’s Favorite Champion” gimmick, and he seemed like a future top star.
But as time went on, his screen time dropped. By 2024, Miro didn’t appear in any matches. Reports say the reason behind his absence was creative differences with AEW’s management. He wanted more say in his storylines, but the two sides didn’t see eye to eye.
Eventually, that led to him quietly leaving AEW.
Miro’s Return to WWE
Now, in a surprising twist, Miro is said to be heading back to WWE. If rumors are true, he could show up on the Raw after WrestleMania 41, which is known for major surprises.
WWE fans remember Miro best as Rusev, a strong powerhouse who dominated in the ring and had great matches with top stars. And one of those top names, Roman Reigns, once praised Miro in an interview for their chemistry in the ring.
“I will say though, Rusev was really good. We had good timing as far as in the ring, I always had good chemistry with him to where I could come off the ropes, take one step, launch and dart across the ring and he knew just the perfect height to lift up, open up for me. So, yeah, we did that thing all over the world. Those were good times” Reigns said in 2021.
That kind of respect shows how much talent Miro brings back to WWE.
Vince Russo Shares His Booking Idea for Miro
In a recent episode of BroDown, former WCW writer Vince Russo shared how he would bring Miro back to WWE. Russo said he would pair Miro with his real-life wife, CJ Perry (formerly known as Lana).
“I mean, when he was with Lana, they had heat. They were over when Rusev and Lana did their bit. I mean, my God, bro, if I was them [WWE creative], I would bring both of them back as that package.” Russo explained.
This suggestion could actually work. The Rusev-Lana pairing was once one of WWE’s most popular acts. Together, they had a unique connection with the crowd mixing strength with drama.
Even though Miro and CJ Perry separated in 2023, rumors say they may have reunited in 2025, giving fans even more hope for a full return of their on-screen partnership.
