WWE is interested in bringing back a former AEW star, according to WrestleVotes. The person in question is none other than Miro. The former Rusev was a major midcard attraction during his time with the Stamford-based promotion.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes was asked if he expected any more AEW names to pop up in WWE somewhere down the line.

"I'd expect Miro before the end of the year. I know there's interest there. I don't know if he's ready to sign right now. Maybe, more of a summer or fall type of thing." [From 10:27 onwards]

Former SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long recently reacted to the rumors of Miro and Lana returning to their former promotion. The real-life CJ Perry had a brief stint in AEW where she was involved in a storyline with her husband.

"I really can't answer that. I don't know what really the problem was with them when they were in WWE. So, I can't tell you. I don't know. But congratulations on their wedding and I wish both of them the best," said Teddy Long.

Fans will have to wait to see if The Bulgarian Brute and The Ravishing Russian make their return under Triple H's creative direction on The Road to WrestleMania 41 or after the premium live event.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
