In a recent episode of his podcast “Off The Top”, Rikishi expressed his views on whether Miro should make a return to WWE subsequent to his exit from AEW.
Brief excerpts from his podcast are mentioned below for reference:
Rikishi’s thoughts on Miro’s potential return to WWE: “He should consider going back. Having experienced the ambience in AEW and earned his share, I believe it was probably the easiest paycheck he’s ever received. The demanding schedule of WWE is not like that of AEW. However, sometimes we overlook the fact that it’s not about the money, it’s about the work environment you want to be a part of, an environment where you are eager and excited to show up for work. Based on my conversations with some of the guys I’ve met at signings, and also exploring my nephew Journey’s potential fit in the industry, it seems like a suitable place to work.”
Rikishi’s opinion about Miro: “In order to recommend someone, I need reliable information. I assure you, when I vouch for someone, it means they have potential both inside and out. Ultimately, Miro has to make his own career decisions. He’s intelligent and grasps the dynamics of the industry beyond just wrestling moves. He sees manipulative tactics coming and knows how to handle them. The best decision for Miro, in my opinion, would be returning to his roots, to WWE, where he shines as a performer. Whether he plays the role of a villain or hero, he can add significant value to the company. WWE fans remember him fondly as Rusev, influenced by his dedication and skills. Everything he does is convincing, from the power behind his strikes to the perfection in his timing. So, Miro, if you happen to hear this, remember I’ve always given you sincere advice. As your mentor from Knox Pro, I believe it’s time you headed back home to WWE. And if you could, send my regards to your family back in Bulgaria. I miss them and still look forward to your promised Bulgarian food tour one day! So yes, I think it’s time for Miro to go back home to WWE.”
