Miro has finished his time with AEW and the former TNT Champion has made a successful return to the ring after over a year on the shelf. During a Qatar Pro Wrestling event held on February 22nd in Doha, Miro took on fellow WWE and League of Nations alum Alberto El Patron.
This marked Miro’s first match since his bout against Andrade El Idolo at the AEW Worlds End pay-per-view on December 30, 2023. Despite a 14-month absence from the ring, Miro proved he could still compete at a high level.

Miro joined AEW in 2020 and despite a strong initial push, would become less utilized from 2022 until the end of his tenure. In late 2024, it was shared that Miro had requested his release, but that his request was turned down. Miro was nevertheless let go in early 2025 alongside Malakai Black and Ricky Starks, the latter of whom has joined WWE NXT as Ricky Saints.
Whether Miro returns to WWE remains to be seen, though his ex-wife CJ Perry has teased Miro taking on Andrade, another AEW alum who\'s since returned to WWE. Whatever\'s next for the Bulgarian, Miro is proving that his absence from the ring hasn\'t dulled his skills.
