A few hours back on his YouTube channel, Miro spoke about how he felt after leaving WWE and if his dream of wrestling all over the world could finally become a reality. Here is what Miro said.

“I’m just saying, sometimes when God says, ‘Miro, you are going to live all your dreams,’ you just got to trust God., you got to put your full trust into him.”

Rusev worked for WWE for over 10 years. He climbed the ladder from developmental to NXT to the main roster.

He had a good first year in the WWE as he became the United States Champion and was on an undefeated streak heading into WrestleMania 31. Unfortunately, his loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 31 kick-started the downfall of his career.

In April 2020, Rusev was released by the company due to COVID-19 budget cuts.
