10 Wrestlers You Were Totally Wrong About
10. Miro
Those fond of screaming out "Rusev Day!" at the top of their lungs always assumed that The Bulgarian Brute had all the makings of a charismatic top face or heel.
Rather than doubling down on the undoubted popularity Rusev experienced from 2017-18, though, WWE largely kept the star away from the top of the card and eventually dumped him into a silly love triangle storyline instead.
So, when the star eventually known as Miro ultimately made his way over to The Land of All Elite in September 2020 after being released by WWE earlier that year, those who'd cried out to see the big man get an opportunity to show what he was truly capable of were understandably salivating.
And while his initial Best Man persona didn't exactly get him off to the best of AEW starts, his eventual stint as the dominant TNT Championship-holding Redeemer looked to be setting the bulldozer up for bigger things in the future.
Said "bigger things" didn't actually come to pass, however. Instead, Miro has largely gone missing since losing his belt in September 2021.
And with the absent star only wrestling four times in 2022, along with it recently being said that he turned down an idea that would've led to a Full Gear match last year, those who thought Miro was finally going to get a shot at main event superstardom as a part of the All Elite roster are likely feeling a touch underwhelmed at this current moment.
