10 Great AEW Wrestlers Who'd Be Better Off In WWE

10. Miro

When it comes to TNT Champions, there's a rock-solid argument that Miro's heated run as 'God's Favourite Champion' was the pinnacle. Ditching his bizarre gamer persona and friendship with Kip Sabian, Miro found his voice as a brawling religious zealot.

In 2022, despite solid crowd reactions when he does occasionally show up, Miro is almost a non-entity in AEW a lot of the time. Scattered mini-feuds and odd promos in the dark haven't showcased 'The Bulgarian Brute' at his best. While a hamstring injury kept him out earlier this year, he has by all accounts been cleared to work for most of his time off at this point.

Despite his dismal closing stretch in WWE, Miro's first year on the main roster did successfully present him as a superstar in waiting. While the Russian patriot gimmick was completely different (and certainly not one that would fly in 2022) to his more interesting character work in recent years, the booking was exactly what he should be; a colourful but dangerous badass.

With new management in town in WWE, Miro could very well reach the heights many tipped him for in 2014 if he were to defect down the road. A return to the old Rusev name with more assured, sensible booking, rather than the start-stop pushes that became a custom of Vince McMahon's closing years, could see Rusev Day be celebrated once more.

At the very least, he might actually make it onto one of WWE's televised shows every week.
