Rusev is coming back home as Miro’s tenure in AEW began with high expectations, as fans anticipated his full potential would be realized. Initially, he became a standout performer, captivating audiences with his unique character and in-ring presence.
However, AEW’s creative direction for Miro became increasingly unclear, leading to a significant period of inactivity throughout 2024. Ultimately, with no concrete plans for his character, AEW granted Miro his release.
PWInsider confirmed that the former United States Champion has re-signed with WWE. Here are some dream matches we want to see involving the returning star.
Bron Breakker
A clash between the powerful and athletic Bron Breakker and Miro offers the potential for fantastic in-ring action. Breakker, lacking a significant long-term feud since his main roster arrival, could benefit greatly from a rivalry with Miro, elevating both performers.
Bronson Reed
Matches between Miro and Bronson Reed promise to be explosive, combining their surprising agility and compelling storytelling abilities. A sustained rivalry between these two imposing figures could deliver captivating television during the summer months.
Drew McIntyre
Miro and Drew McIntyre, former members of the ill-fated League of Nations, could revisit their shared history in a main roster feud. This storyline would allow them to showcase their growth since that underutilized period, delivering both entertaining segments and high-quality matches.

LA Knight
LA Knight, in his second United States Championship reign, requires significant challengers to elevate his title run. A rivalry with Miro presents a fresh, never-before-seen matchup that has the potential to produce some of the best matches of Knight’s championship tenure.
Damian Priest
Damian Priest, consistently seeking new and formidable opponents, could find a perfect adversary in Miro. As one of the roster’s most imposing figures, Priest requires a credible threat, and Miro, with his significant size and surprising athleticism, fits that role perfectly. A rivalry between these two powerhouses promises to deliver compelling and hard-hitting matches.

Oba Femi
NXT Champion Oba Femi, needing fresh title challengers, could find a compelling rival in Miro, who could mirror Drew McIntyre’s successful NXT return and immediate rise. This would provide Miro a prominent role during NXT’s current hot streak and establish his comeback with a high-profile feud against Femi.
Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu, rapidly becoming a popular figure on SmackDown despite his heel status, is poised for a babyface turn. A feud with Miro would provide a high-intensity, must-see clash, capitalizing on Fatu’s rising popularity and Miro’s potential return.
