For many years Miro worked in WWE under the name Rusev, and he spent the vast majority of his run with the company working as a singles star. However, it seems that WWE at one point considered pairing him up with another wrestler.
NJPW of America commentator Alex Koslov was a part of WWE developmental from 2010 to 2012, but ultimately his run with the company didn’t work out. Koslov talked a little bit about what went wrong on Developmentally Speaking, and while discussing his time in WWE he revealed that the company was considering putting him and Miro on the road as a team.
“The only ideas, the only path I had over there (in WWE developmental) was me and Rusev. Me and Rusev started tagging but it was kind of towards the tail end of my time there… It was actually the most stressful time of my life over there when I was in FCW.
I wanted it so badly but I was not able to, I don’t know, do a good enough job that was satisfactory for them it felt and so I asked for my release and Johnny Ace told me to take a little vacation so he sent me home for a couple weeks and I came back energized and I started to do better work but at that point, it was already too late but they were thinking of putting me and Rusev on the road at that time but, they had to release people and had to make the cuts and I was one of ‘em.”
