Miro (Rusev) Debuts On AEW Dynamite
The former 'Bulgarian Brute' is All Elite.
The wrestler formerly known as Rusev is All Elite.
Miro debuted as Kip Sabian's 'Best Man' on last night's episode of Dynamite, making a grand entrance after two false starts involving indie wrestlers Puf and Brian Pillman Jr. 'The Brute From Bulgaria,' as he was introduced, cut a sharp promo on WWE, saying he had spent 10 years stuck under the same glass ceiling reaching for the brass ring, but "you can shove that brass ring up your ass."
Miro, Sabian, and Penelope Ford then celebrated in the ring, closing the segment. Debuting as part of a wedding storyline was a clear rib on the last few months of his WWE, throughout which he was locked into a widely-criticised love "square" storyline with real-life wife Lana, Bobby Lashley, and Liv Morgan.
AEW has now confirmed the signing:-
Miro, meanwhile, has hit YouTube to say he is "in the new professional wrestling promotion" now, adding that he is "super excited about everything."
There's currently no word on the exact terms of Miro's AEW deal, though the YouTube promo gives the impression that he's in it for the long haul - as a full-timer. This was his first pro-wrestling activity since being let go from WWE in April.
