Rusev aka Miro has reportedly signed a new contract with WWE

It was reported in February of 2025 that Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Miro were all no longer working for AEW. Starks debuted with WWE NXT and there had been rumors about Black and Miro (formerly Rusev) returning to WWE as well.

On Wednesday, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following…

“PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that Rusev (aka Miro in AEW) has been at the WWE HQ in Stamford, CT all day today and was spotted by multiple sources. According to those we’ve spoken with today, Rusev has signed with the company and was at HQ today to set the stage for his return.”

Lana aka CJ Perry, who recently renewed her wedding vows with Rusev/Miro, was reportedly not with him today. At this time, it’s unknown when Rusev will officially make his return to WWE television.
