During the latest edition of his Saturday Night Special YouTube series, Chris Jericho shared his thoughts on the surprise debut of Miro (Rusev in WWE) during Wednesday night's All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite. The Demo God believes Miro is someone who can bring a lot to the company, and it sounds like this has been in the works for a while now.
"I think it’s great to have him, we had discussed having Miro come in a few months earlier when he was released," Jericho revealed. "The only thing all of us were thinking was, ‘We just have to think of a spot for him.’ We need to find a place where you’re not just going to bring him in and have him hanging around, you don’t want that. I think it’s perfect, 'The Best Man' thing, it’s not just a one-shot deal, it’s a gimmick. He’s 'The Best Man,' he’s the best man at everything it’ll almost be like a Mr. Perfect thing."
That definitely sounds like a cool and unexpected direction to take Miro in, and Jericho later confirmed that he was responsible for coming up with the line about his former employers shoving that brass ring.
"He couldn’t believe he’d be allowed to say it," Le Champion reflected. "He’s like, ‘Really? Can I say it?’ I’m like, yeah, you can say whatever you want here.’ No problems here, baby!" Jericho concluded by saying, "I’ve always been a fan of his and I think he’s another guy for some reason, whatever reason, kind of fell through the cracks there that they’re going to regret letting go. We got him and we’re excited."
Time will tell what becomes of Miro in AEW, but the future is definitely looking brighter for him than it did when he was part of WWE!
