Triple H to bring back 3-time US champion after 1441 days at WWE Royal Rumble 2025? Analyzing the chances of a return

The Triple H era has been flourishing since The Game took over as WWE's Chief Content Officer. Currently, he is shaping the landscape of the Stamford-based promotion as it heads towards Bad Blood 2024. Amid this, there is speculation that Triple H could bring back three-time United States Champion Miro (fka Rusev).

For those unaware, Miro is currently signed with All Elite Wrestling. He joined Tony Khan's promotion in September 2020, but since then, he has only wrestled 11 matches. His most recent bout took place at AEW Worlds End 2023 where he defeated current WWE Superstar Andrade..

According to a recent report from Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Miro has requested his release from AEW. If his request is granted, there is a strong possibility that Triple H could bring Rusev back to WWE. However, the report also mentions that there is no certainty yet on whether WWE is interested in re-signing the former US Champion.

That said, Triple H’s regime is known for its surprises, and there's a good chance The Game won't miss the opportunity to bring Rusev back, with the ideal location being Royal Rumble 2025.

As of now, it's noteworthy to note that Miro signed a contract extension with AEW in the spring of 2022, which keeps him with the company until 2026. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and whether Triple H seizes the opportunity to bring the star back to WWE.

How Triple H could bring the three-time US Champion back to WWE?

In addition to the previously mentioned details, the report also revealed that there had been internal discussions about using Miro in AEW's All In Casino Gauntlet. He had also pitched a potential storyline with Jon Moxley earlier this year. However, Miro and AEW struggled to align creatively, a recurring issue that has surfaced between the two over the years.

This creative frustration may be one of the key reasons Miro has requested his release from AEW. If The Game offers Miro some creative control and more compelling storylines or feuds, he could potentially lure the former US Champion back to WWE. Meanwhile, this scenario hinges on whether Miro’s request for release from Tony Khan's promotion is granted.

It will be fascinating to see how this situation develops in the coming weeks and what the future hold for Miro.
