It was reported on Monday that Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Miro were all no longer working for AEW. Starks promptly made his WWE debut on the February 11th 2025 edition of NXT.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about Black and Miro…

“The belief is that Black and Miro will also be in WWE very soon. It wouldn’t surprise me to see CJ Perry back involved with him but that’s less of a definite. Those in WWE had said creative had been talking about Black and Miro.”

Miro’s final match in AEW was against Andrade El Idolo at the 2023 Worlds End PPV event and it was also Andrade’s last appearance in AEW before returning to WWE. CJ Perry aka Lana, who was involved in the storyline with Miro and Andrade at the time, teased another match between them in a post via Twitter/X…

“One man is the Super Athlete & the other man is a flying cruiser weight who hits harder then a heavy weight ! I can’t wait to see them fight again. Who do you think will win this time if I don’t help @ToBeMiro to win again my former ex client @AndradeElIdolo.”
