AEW star Miro "wasn't interested in charity titles".

The Bulgarian also told WhatCulture's own Andrew Pollard that the upcoming interim World Title situation at AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door is "beneath" him. Sure, Miro was in-character when he was mouthing off about a match between Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi, but his comments are still a lot of fun.

Miro recently returned to AEW TV after approx six months on the shelf due to injury - he beat Johnny Elite (ex-WWE man John Morrison) on the 1 June episode of Dynamite, and then immediately became involved in the promotion's new All-Atlantic Championship race.

Forbidden Door will feature a four-way bout pitting Miro, PAC, Malakai Black and Clark Conners (who was a late replacement for Tomohiro Ishii) against one another for the brand new belt. Going in, Miro would certainly be a fine choice as the title's first champ.

His words during our interview suggest that some sort of 'Champion vs. Champion' scenario could be in the offing post-pay-per-view. Miro vs. Jon Moxley, for example, would be a neat marquee match for AEW in coming months.

Either that or Miro is just staying true to his character. Or, y'know, at the wind up.
