Former WWE United States Champion Miro recently expressed his thoughts on Mance Warner, who was Jon Moxley's opponent this past week on AEW Rampage.

Moxley stood against MLW and GCW star Mance Warner this past week, with the AEW debutant battling the interim world champion in a contenders match. Should Warner have beaten the champion on this occasion, he would have been due a world title match sometime in the future.

Moxley defeated the indie star after a brutal contest to keep his momentum going into next week's scheduled title defense against Chris Jericho, which will take place on AEW Dynamite: Quake by the Lake.

Former AEW TNT Champion Miro apparently took issue with Moxley's opponent. He appeared to question the validity behind the indie star challenging the champion on his debut by asking who he was on Twitter.

"Who's this guy that is fighting for the title?" he wrote.

Miro hasn't featured in a match since he challenged for the All-Atlantic title at Forbidden Door. During the contest, he received a faceful of black mist from Malakai Black, and the match was eventually won by PAC.

He appeared set to feud with Malakai and the House of Black when he returned to confront the faction during their own altercation with Sting and Darby Allin.

AEW fans had differing answers for Miro's question

Several fans replied to Miro's tweet and had their say on the matter. With varying opinions on the subject, the former WWE star's tweet certainly grabbed the fans' attention.

One fan, for example, explained to The Redeemer the entire backstory behind Moxley vs. Warner, including the stipulation for the contest and where Warner often plies his trade.

Another fan said that they didn't watch because there was little chance of Mance Warner winning.

This fan agreed with Miro and stated that non-contracted talent is getting more opportunities than contracted talent. He hoped that Miro would break the "glass ceiling" soon.

With The Redeemer, not shying away from expressing his thoughts, it remains to be seen whether his next match in AEW will come soon.
