Miro, the former TNT Champion, has officially parted ways with AEW. The news broke on Monday, February 10, 2025, when PWInsider reported that Miro and AEW reached a mutual agreement on his release. This decision comes after Miro publicly requested his release back in September 2024 and had not wrestled since Worlds End on December 30, 2023.
Miro, who debuted in AEW as Kip Sabian’s “Best Man” in September 2020, had a notable run with the company. He won the TNT Championship in 2021 but was used sparingly in the following years. Despite his early success, Miro's appearances became less frequent, and he was not featured at all in 2024.
The split appears to be amicable, with both parties agreeing that it was the best course of action. Miro's departure follows a period of creative disagreements and a lack of direction for his character. Fans have speculated that Miro's absence from AEW programming was due to injury, but it was later revealed that he was healthy and ready to compete.
With Miro now free from AEW, speculation is rife about his next move. Many fans are hopeful that he will return to WWE, where he previously wrestled as Rusev. However, nothing has been confirmed yet, and Miro has the freedom to explore other opportunities as well.
Miro's journey in professional wrestling has been a rollercoaster ride, and his release from AEW marks the beginning of a new chapter. Wherever he goes next, fans will be eagerly watching to see what's in store for the talented wrestler.
What are your thoughts on Miro's release? Do you think he should return to WWE, or is there another promotion that would be a better fit for him?
