6. More Mild Movement For Miro

Only barely an Up, but an Up nonetheless...

For a third week in a row, Miro had a presence on AEW Collision. And for a third week in a row, the Miro character took positive steps.

We're going to get to a point shortly where Miro needs to be doing more than just squashing low-level talents or spouting about renouncing his god, his gold, and his beautiful wife. For now, though, his dominant win over Anthony Henry on this latest Collision offering was fine for what was needed.

Henry himself is a talented wrestler who could become more than just fodder for bigger names, but for now that is his role. And for three minutes, the one-time Asher Hale did his best to make Miro look like a monster. On that front, the Redeemer more than played his part, with an extended post-match Game Over on Henry showcasing a vicious, cold edge to the Bulgarian.
