AEW's 5 biggest missed opportunities in 2020

#3 Miro's booking since his AEW debut

Miro

Miro, the wrestler and Miro, the performer seem like two different people in AEW. As the character, he is reminiscent of his wife, Lana, worrying about likes, subscriptions, and comments on digital platforms. When he actually wrestles, the beastly side of the performer comes out. That is what he should lean into.

When he first debuted with AEW, it was exciting but also somewhat strange because it was as Kip Sabian's "Best Man". Instead of simply cutting a swath of destruction through people, his character is more focused on gaming. If that is his creative input on his character, then that is all well and good. But for someone of his size, speed, and athleticism, it's a bit disappointing knowing what he is capable of in the ring.

Another slight issue with his AEW tenure is that instead of being a rising singles star, he's been more utilized in the tag team with Sabian. There isn't a problem with pairing Miro with Sabian, but AEW is already so full of tag teams that it's hard to truly stand out in the crowd. When he was a part of the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, Miro stood out for the right reasons. He went on an elimination spree and showcased why he was such a good signing for AEW.

There is still time to make Miro a bit more serious and vicious. The debut in 2020, however, fell a little flat.
