Former WWE United States Champion looks incredibly jacked amid uncertain future [Photo]
Former WWE United States Champion Miro is currently absent from AEW television. Amid his absence from weekly and monthly television programs, he posted a photo showing his incredible physique.
The last time The Bulgarian Brute wrestled in AEW was at the Worlds End PPV in 2023, where he beat Andrade El Idolo in a singles match. He was then sidelined for some time due to an injury but never made it back to the ring. Earlier this year, in September, he asked Tony Khan to grant him release. But there has been no update regarding the situation, which indicates he is still under contract with the promotion.
The Redeemer Miro has been in Bulgaria for some time now. He regularly posts pictures and videos of himself on social media. Just around an hour ago on Instagram, he posted a photo of himself flexing his gigantic muscles in front of a mirror at Pulse Gym in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Check out a screenshot of his Instagram story below.

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long blamed AEW for Miro requesting his release
A few months ago, Teddy Long commented on Miro's situation with AEW on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast. The WWE Hall of Famer sided with the 38-year-old star and blamed AEW for the potential issue.
He said, "As far as I know, I never heard anybody say anything bad about him. It was always nice conversation but I don't know what is really going on. He could be a part of it too, he could be hard to deal with, I don't know that. Like I said, my blame is basically on AEW." [From 1:29 - 1:49]
Miro worked with WWE under the ring name Rusev before joining AEW. He became a part of Tony Khan's roster in September 2020. He is a former TNT Champion.
