Miro divulges difficulty getting back on AEW programming following recovery from injury
Miro discussed his difficulties in getting back on AEW programming even once he had recovered from injury, speaking with Fightful.
Speaking to Fightful Select, Miro explained his absence following his clash with Bryan Danielson at AEW Full Gear 2021. He tweaked his hamstring and planned to take time off prior to facing Orange Cassidy, where he exacerbated his injury and it "ripped".
Miro also served as a stand-in for Jon Moxley when he took a hiatus, battling Bryan Danielson in the final of the AEW World Title Eliminator. Following his clash with the American Dragon, he took a break for a couple of months. The Redeemer believed he would be returning when the vignettes started to air in January. However, he struggled to find a place on TV with the expansive roster.
The line has been drawn and The Redeemer @ToBeMiro is on a mission to repair and embrace his weaknesses and bring fear to his opponents in #AEW https://t.co/tbVyKV6a1h
Miro has only wrestled twice since making his return, where he was a surprise opponent for Johnny Elite, who held an open challenge. The Bulgarian lost his TNT title last September prior to filling in for Jon Moxley in the World Title Eliminator against Orange Cassidy and Bryan Danielson.
