Miro Comments on Signing with AEW, Watching His Wife Kiss Another Man in WWE, More

Miro Bray Wyatt

The debut of Miro in All Elite Wrestling a few weeks was a nice surprise as the former WWE star known as Rusev is now “The Best Man” in AEW. Miro was introduced by Kip Sabian, who is set to marry Penelope Ford in the near future, and Miro has been brought in as “The Best Man” for the festivities. Miro is in great shape, just won his first AEW match last week in a tag team match and now he’s looking ahead to more success in AEW.

Miro recently talked to Chris Van Vliet (subscribe to the CVV Youtube channel here) about how he got started in AEW along with some other topics. Chris sent us some interview highlights that you can check out below.

He says going to work at WWE was “dreadful” compared to now:

“There is nothing to be worried about. And I’ve never been worried about anything, even before. It doesn’t matter what people think. I’ve always been happy. Always been happy, just going to work was a bit of a dreadful moment. But now that’s gone, there are no dreadful moments in my life at all.”

How signing with AEW came together:

“So I was sitting at home doing my Twitch and we found out they were interested so we got in contact. It didn’t start off great because I had other opportunities, but I knew I didn’t want to go to just any place. I knew I wanted to go two places: AEW and another one. There’s another place that I really want to go and I will go eventually because that’s just how it’s going to happen. So they called me and we talked back and forth and even Chris (Jericho) said when they wanted to bring me in, they wanted to bring me in with a purpose and not to bring me in just to be there. So they came up with the idea with Kip and the best man and I think the best man is so suiting because of everything that I do and I thought it was a great schtick. And it’s not just a schtick, it’s actually fitting because it’s my personality and that’s why it was a no-brainer. Yes, let’s just do that.”

The original plan for Liv Morgan interrupting Lana and Bobby Lashley’s wedding:

“No plan. One time pop. No plan. A lot of things were made for one time pops. That was it. People thought and they made up all these things. No, it was a one time thing that was great and was going to get people talking because at that time the showrunner was about getting people talking and controversy. That’s why the whole thing happened, you know the Bobby thing, it was all about controversy and we achieved that. Unfortunately now there’s no follow through but that’s what happens when you change people all the time. You build CJ (Lana) to leave her husband and be the worst. She’s still probably the baddest heel on their frigging show and now she’s doing all this for what? To throw away everything, the whole year before like nobody remembers that? But again, that’s them and they can do whatever they want but I’m just stating the obvious. But one time pop.”

How did he feel watching his wife kiss Bobby Lashley during their storyline?

“That’s a question that you need to ask her and him because I wasn’t kissing him. It’s their choice. Well, it’s not their choice that’s what they were told. To use real aggressive kissing. Was it good to watch? No I never watched it. But at the same time I understand it’s a work. We’re actors. But the question that you just asked is one that people always ask me and every time I respond the same way ‘Ask her. She’s the one kissing him. Ask him. He’s married, he’s got kids, they gotta watch the show’. Ask them, don’t worry about me.”
