Alright, wrestling fans, gather ’round because Miro’s got a story to tell that’s more riveting than a season finale cliffhanger. It’s been a hot minute since we saw the Bulgarian brute, Miro, throwing down in the AEW ring, and it turns out, he’s been wrestling with more than just opponents.
Speaking to Sportskeeda, Miro shared an update on the injuries that have kept him out of action. After a mysterious absence following a bout with Andrade El Idolo, Miro revealed that he’s been battling not one, but two injuries—a double whammy to his shoulder and elbow. But folks, this isn’t your everyday wrestling wear and tear; our man has been powering through this since last September!
In true fighter fashion, Miro didn’t just sit back and wait for things to get better. Nope, he rolled up his sleeves, got some medical wizardry done in January—some shots to get those joints back in champion shape—and now he’s on the mend, rehabbing like a champ. He’s not just planning to come back; he’s aiming to return stronger than ever.
Despite grappling with these setbacks, Miro still managed to hit the mat for seven matches in 2023, four of which came after he was already hurting. Talk about tough! Before this injury saga began, he was on a bit of a hiatus, having wrestled just four times since All Out in September 2022. That’s a stark drop from 2021, when he was all over the ring, defending his TNT title left and right.
But wrestling isn’t the only ring Miro’s been sparring in. He’s also been flexing his acting muscles, snagging a role on the TV series “East New York.” This gig had him hanging out in the Empire State for weeks, proving there’s more to Miro than just devastating finishers and championship belts.
With a four-year extension with AEW signed in 2022, it’s clear Miro’s not ready to throw in the towel. He’s got plans, ambitions, and a whole lot of fight left in him. So, to all the AEW fans out there, keep your eyes peeled and your cheers ready, because when Miro steps back into that ring, it’s going to be a comeback story for the ages.
