AEW CEO Tony Khan recently discussed WWE’s Rusev, also known as Miro, following his departure from AEW and return to WWE. Khan mentioned that they had differing views on how Miro should be showcased on AEW programming, which led to their split. In an interview on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Khan expressed that Rusev seems content in WWE and shared his support for Rusev’s return. Khan acknowledged Miro as a talented wrestler and former AEW TNT Champion, emphasizing that it’s normal for creative differences to arise and that Rusev’s decision to go back to WWE was something he wanted and felt good about.
Rusev was with AEW for five years and held the TNT Championship once. They mutually agreed to part ways, and while there were rumors that Rusev avoided losing matches in AEW, WWE Raw rebutted those claims, showing examples of his losses and highlighting that losing is part of wrestling. Rusev has expressed frustration over not wrestling frequently enough in AEW, emphasizing his passion for the sport.
Fan Take: This development is significant for WWE fans because it marks the return of a strong competitor who can bring fresh storylines and energy to WWE programming. Miro’s move back to WWE also highlights the ongoing dynamic between major wrestling promotions, shaping the landscape of professional wrestling for fans worldwide.
