10 Times The AEW Locker Room Must Have Been VERY Awkward

8. When Miro Met PAC

After making his debut on AEW Dynamite in 2020, a beaming Miro hopped onto Twitch to express what practically scanned as euphoria.

He mets lots of cool, approachable new people, he caught up with old friends from WWE, he was permitted to cut his own promo, and he was taken aback by how expressive and high-quality the in-ring action was on a mere TV show. He even awarded the taped Hangman Page Vs. Kazarian match *****, and while it wasn't quite that good, it was a stellar, underrated entry into what is now a quite glorious canon. His mood took a sharp dive when the subject of PAC came up.

"I'm not working with him anymore," he said curtly. "He already tore my bicep."

In a great deep cut display of body language, when Miro and PAC finally interacted in the same ring, during the Four-Way All-Atlantic title tournament final at Forbidden Door, Miro and Malakai Black argued over who should have "dibs" on PAC's prone, battered body. This was superb fan-service for the most attentive - thoughtful storytelling typical of AEW at its peak - but their catch-up must have been somewhat fraught. Again, this apparently passed by with little incident, but then, a content, smaller roster wasn't leaking anything to the sheets back then.

Maybe PAC was confronted and said "Shut up man ya little f*ckin' radgie".
