The official Twitter handle of WWE recently uploaded the full match contested between Roman Reigns and Rusev, for the United States title. The match in question was uploaded to WWE's official website, and the tweet posted a link to the same. As is usually the case with WWE's Twitter handle, it tagged Roman Reigns, who's a current talent, and not Rusev, who doesn't work for WWE anymore.

Rusev noticed the tweet and asked WWE to tag him in the tweet. He also mentioned his Twitter handle @ToBeMiro in his tweet. Check out the tweet below:
When a fan pointed out that WWE did the same to Matt Hardy recently, the AEW star chimed in on the conversation, and bashed WWE for this practice.
Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
WWE social media folks aren’t allowed to mention talent like @ToBeMiro, because they now only exist in the entire professional wrestling universe, as opposed to solely @WWE. It’s just their policy. I love how @AEWrestling acknowledges all of pro wrestling, competition or not.. https://t.co/D0GzTIFiBI
Rusev now goes by the moniker of Miro, and is quite active on social media
Rusev had a six-year stint in WWE (RAW/SmackDown) following his NXT run. He was one of several WWE Superstars who were let go by the company in April. Ever since then, Rusev has been posting tons of content on his official Youtube channel, and also regularly plays games and chats with fans on his Twitch channel.
Rusev now goes by the name of Miro. He had his fair share of success in WWE, but was never pushed to main event status. His Rusev Day run got incredibly over with the WWE Universe back in 2017-18, but WWE chose not to capitalize on it.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
