Miro Reveals He Is Not Restricted To AEW, Teases NJPW Debut
It seems like Miro could be following in AEW World Champion Jon Moxley’s footsteps and wrestling in Japan despite being under contract with AEW.
During his latest Twitch stream, Miro revealed that his AEW contract allows him to wrestle in different countries, especially “where the sun rises,” hinting at a possible appearance in NJPW at some point down the road.
“Despite signing a contract, I am not restricted to AEW alone. While I am not going to name any promotions, I’ll just say I’m allowed to work in different countries. Maybe a country where the sun rises? You’ll just have to wait and see,” said Miro.
Miro hinted that wrestling in Japan is one of his lifelong dreams and something that he plans to fulfill in the near future.
“Sometimes when God says, Miro you’re going to live all your dreams, you just got to keep the faith. That’s why when I got released [from WWE], I had zero doubt that I would be able to go to AEW and work in different places. And that is how things are unfolding now,” he added.
Miro, who appeared on AEW Dynamite a few weeks ago, went onto say that his patience is beginning to pay off, especially after a lengthy hiatus from the ring following his WWE release in April.
“Things happen for a reason, and the more you let go off the BS, the more service you’re doing to yourself. If you’re good, and trust and believe, things will align themselves. You just have to be patient, and that’s what I did. I bided my time and here I am now.”

Ronda Rousey Teases WWE Comeback, Wants Rematch Against Natalya
Ronda Rousey, who was last seen in a WWE ring during the main event of WrestleMania 35, has teased yet another return to the squared circle.
While responding to WWE’s twitter account, which looked back her 2018 match against Natalya, Ronda said she was looking forward to a rematch against her training partner.
“One of my favorite matches – such a huge challenge in so many ways, what a crazy day looking forward to a rematch someday @NatbyNature,” she wrote.
Ronda was recently spotted training with JTG and Ariel Toombs, aka Teal Piper, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper. Those images–of her training inside a wrestling ring–reignited speculation regarding her potential comeback to the WWE.
Ronda, who is under contract with WWE until April 2021, has already shot down the possibility of a full-time comeback to wrestling. However, she has kept the door open to a part-time schedule which would see her wrestle only at a few PPV events in a year.
“I’m never going to be a full-time [wrestler] again, which requires me to be on the road for over 200 days a year. It’s just it was I needed to do it in order to learn and get immersed into it and really understand what was going on, but it’s just not the lifestyle for me,” Ronda said earlier this year.

“So, tomorrow I’m having knee surgery for the third time,” Johnson wrote. “As not fun as surgery is, I’m looking forward to my knees not popping out anymore. That said, please send me video games suggestions, movie suggestions (preferably scary) or anything else to help pass the time.”
Johnson, the daughter of The Rock, signed with WWE back in February and reported to train at the WWE PC since her signing.
She has yet to debut on NXT, but did make multiple appearances in the crowd at the WWE PC and Full Sail when WWE was not allowing fans in for shows.
