Last week’s episode of Dynamite featured a debut that got the world talking when Miro, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, joined All Elite Wrestling.
Chris Jericho talked about Miro’s big debut on the latest episode of his Saturday Night Special, and he said that he thinks WWE will regret letting him go.
WWE Superstars are often told to grab the brass ring in order to climb up the card in the company, and during his AEW debut promo Miro said, “you can take that brass ring and shove it up your ass.”
According to Jericho, he was the one who came up with that line.
“When he indirectly mentioned WWE, talking about the glass ceiling and brass ring, that was actually my line. He couldn’t believe he could say that on Live television. When he asked me, ‘can we actually say that?’ I was like, ‘yes, you can say whatever you want here [in AEW].'”
Miro was introduced as The Best Man by Kip Sabian, and Jericho says that The Best Man will be Miro’s gimmick moving forward.
“The Best Man thing is not a one-time deal,” Jericho revealed. “It is going to be his new gimmick. He’s the Best Man at everything, similar to Mr. Perfect. You know, Miro has always been a great guy, very funny guy, which a lot of people don’t know. It’s very cool to have him with us.”
