Rusev, now known as Miro in WWE, had a tumultuous time in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) before making his return to the company earlier this year. His first stint in WWE led to Tony Khan signing him to AEW in 2020, where he had a five-year run. Recently, he opened up about his time in AEW, sparking a strong reaction from fans.
The Bulgarian Brute made a strong start in AEW, even capturing the TNT Championship. However, he found himself sidelined for an extended period before eventually being granted his release. Reports surfaced that Rusev had refused to put over talent in AEW, leading to his absence from television.
When asked about these reports, Rusev chose to deflect the question and instead expressed his frustration about not being utilized properly in AEW. This response did not sit well with fans, with many believing that he was being dishonest about refusing to lose to other wrestlers in the company. Social media exploded with comments from fans calling out the wrestling industry for its perceived culture of dishonesty.
In a separate revelation, Rusev admitted to going on a few dates during a brief separation from his wife, CJ Perry, also known as Lana in WWE. The couple had temporarily split in 2024 before reconciling and renewing their vows this year. Rusev clarified that the dates were simply conversations with old friends and classmates, not romantic encounters.
Despite the ups and downs in his personal life, Rusev has found success back in WWE, particularly on RAW. As he continues to thrive in the company, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the talented Bulgarian wrestler.
Overall, Rusev’s journey from AEW back to WWE has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with highs and lows both professionally and personally. With his renewed focus and determination, Miro is poised for a successful chapter in his wrestling career.
