Miro speaks on former WWE stars in AEW
AEW star Miro expressed his discontent over being referred to as “ex-WWE” on “The Zaslow Show”. In a conversation with Jonathon Zaslow, Miro opened up by saying:
“CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and me, [Jon Moxley], none of these guys — we’re not ‘WWE guys’ as everyone calls it. These people have been around the world way before WWE, so when somebody says "this guy is [ex] WWE’, it’s absolutely incorrect. God made me, not Vince McMahon. So [WWE] was just a place to do professional wrestling because there were no other options. But now there’s plenty of other options, exciting options. AEW is the best wrestling company in the world and we prove that day in and day out.”
Miro had a solid run as the TNT Champion before finally dropping the belt on Sammy Guevara. He seemed to be "over" as the “God’s Favorite/Forsaken Champion”. He fought Bryan Danielson for the number one contender spot for the AEW Championship at AEW Full Gear. He was unsuccessful in stopping the winning streak of the “American Dragon”. Speaking of Full Gear, he said:
“Well, first of all, if I was at my full health, I would have destroyed Bryan Danielson in about eight minutes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t, and I had to be labored through this whole match. But I would’ve won that match [if I was at my] 100 percent”

Page expressed to be the fighting champion and wished to fight Danielson on the show.
