10 Awesome WWE & AEW Wrestlers We Can't Wait To See Live Again
10. Miro
As Rusev, the now Miro, entered WWE’s main roster with dream booking. He was the foreign monster heel done right and rampaged through the locker room. Then John Cena happened.
Yet fans saw something in the ‘Bulgarian Brute’ and weren’t willing to give up on him. Rusev had an impressive 126-day reign with the United States Championship, followed by the majorly over, and profitable for the company, ‘Rusev Day’ Gimmick.
Despite his worth, Rusev landed in Vince McMahon’s bad books, with the chairman overreacting to broken kayfabe like it was the ‘80s – because we all believed the nonsense contained in the Rusev-Lana-Summer-Ziggler love square. When he was let go during cost-cutting measures, fans were perplexed and furious, though the man himself claimed he “was happy the day [he] got fired”.
Fans were delighted when Miro signed with AEW. This quickly faded when he was given the ‘Best Man’ gimmick in reference to him playing that role in the wedding of Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford. Fortunately, just in time for crowds, Miro has returned to his dominant monster best. After his journey, Miro deserves the backing of live fans as he restores his legacy.
