Miro FKA Rusev makes AEW debut, takes a dig at WWE while delivering a scathing promo

In April 2020, WWE released Miro FKA Rusev in the budget cuts forced by the coronavirus lockdown. The superstar then started a Twitch channel where he announced his retirement from pro-wrestling, claiming that he wants to become a full-time twitcher or streamer. Despite that, fans hoped that The Bulgarian Brute would someday re-enter the pro-wrestling industry and join a major promotion, especially AEW. This week, the wish of millions came true when Miro FKA Rusev made his AEW debut as Kip Sabian’s best man ahead of the AEW star’s wedding with fiancé Penelope Ford.
