“I wanna make it mine; my own. This is the logo, my hometown, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Which is the sixth oldest living city in Bulgaria, and I wanted to honor that. I came from that. I was born there; I love my hometown. But also I didn’t want the filthy title that Darby Allin had, and I didn’t want none of that stuff. I wanted my own title, I wanted to be fresh, clean. It’s a present for me because I am the redeemer, I am God’s favorite champion.”
Miro lays waste on Lee Johnson at AEW Homecoming
Many believed that this title match would be another squash match on Miro’s list. As it turned out it was anything but a squash match. Both the wrestlers showcased their ability to involve a capacity crowd in their matches.
As soon as the bell rang, Lee rushed towards Miro hoping to plant a running move but was overpowered by ‘The Redeemer’. Miro then started dishing out attacks in the corner and put him to the mat with an uppercut.
Overpowering strength from @ToBeMiro.
