Former WWE Star Seeks Exit from AEW After Limited In-Ring Action in 2024
Summary
– Miro has officially requested his release from AEW after a lack of in-ring action and creative differences.
– The former TNT Champion has yet to wrestle in 2024, with his last match taking place in December 2023.
– Miro is under contract until 2026, but his request for an early exit is now in Tony Khan’s hands.
Miro, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, has reportedly requested his release from All Elite Wrestling, according to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp. After a highly anticipated debut in AEW and a brief run as TNT Champion, Miro has struggled to find consistent in-ring time, which has led to frustrations between him and AEW management.
Miro’s last AEW match took place in December 2023 at the *AEW Worlds End* event, and he has yet to compete in 2024. Initially sidelined due to injury, Miro has been cleared for months. Still, despite efforts to get back into the mix, including pitching ideas to work with Jon Moxley, creative differences have kept him off television.
While Miro’s contract with AEW runs until Spring 2026 due to a four-year extension signed in 2022, the former TNT Champion appears ready to move on early. Whether or not Tony Khan will grant Miro’s request remains to be seen, but fans are already speculating about a potential return to WWE or new opportunities elsewhere.
