Having been out of action due to injury, there's now somewhat of an update on Miro's AEW status.

Via Fightful Select, the hope was that the Redeemer would be cleared and ready to return in the Spring. As of this writing, though, the powerhouse is "behind schedule" when it comes to his return to the ring.

While the specifics of Miro's injury aren't known, the star himself took to X earlier this year to explain that he's been injured since September 2023 and that he sought further medical attention in January. Elsewhere, March saw CJ Perry announce to TMZ that she and Miro had separated in "Winter 2023" and would be getting divorced, with the former TNT Champion moving back to Bulgaria at that time.

Despite being injured in September, Miro had a handful of matches after that point, the last of which being a win over Andrade El Idolo at Worlds End on 30 December. The 38-year-old has yet to wrestle in 2024, and his 2023 saw him only in action on seven occasions, which itself followed a 2022 where Miro only had four matches.
