Evil Russian Rusev was blah. Actual channel changer for me - but in fairness, that was mostly due to the cringy presentation and promos. I knew he could be better than that.
THIS guy is amazing in every way. Look, demeanour, and the feeling that he could snap his supposed friend's neck without even blinking.

His presentation is tremendous right now.
I’ve been super critical of how he’s been used in AEW thus far, but this new no-bullshit, utter psychopath character really works and he looks like he’s poised to become a big-time player going forward.

You know, something just occurred to me.
Miro has made multiple negative references to his marriage, thus confirming that his various angles with Lana are AEW canon.
Something I've just noticed, is that Penelope and Lana are very similar. Both are blonde, they have similar gear, both have a very athletic, acrobatic style.
What if Miro has such a negative view of Penelope because she reminds him too much of Lana?

What if Miro has such a negative view of Penelope because she reminds him too much of Lana? Or.... he misses Lana and it's hard working away from her. So he's projecting his frustration and loneliness onto Penelope, almost jealous of Kip for having his wife around. So he doesn't let her come in, cuts her out of pictures, because he's heartbroken about Lana. If he were to get some therapy, I'm sure he would learn to accept that Kip deserves to be happy and he will see Lana again every weekend. Or he will just kill Kip, never deal with his emotions, and be a monster heel.

Miro seems to be deliberately adding a bit of a misogynist streak to this gimmick based on that promo. I appreciate the identifying of misogyny as being a heel trait, but it kinda has no way of resolving if you don't end up losing to a woman. Even Jeff Jarrett did that.

Kip and Penelope brought the devil in to watch their backs and now they're about to pay for it. Kip is naive enough to believe he's still in charge but he's one pin fall away from a beat down and ending up as Charles' lackey.

If Kip chooses Penelope over him if Miro forces the issue, misogyny is still losing. It kind of depends on how literal they are going with it.

This guy has clearly had bad experiences being held back, with someone like his wife, with all the bullshit around wrestling when he just wants to wreck people. Instead of out and out saying it, he's using rejection of all the stuff WWE did as subtext to his character, which is amazing.

I love Miro, and he seems like a total sweetheart in real life, but, he is genuinely extremely intimidating right now, his body language is unreal. I think that once Kip accidentally punched Miro at the wedding, who just seethed at him, he's been one of the best things about the shows. Furthermore, credit to Kip for selling the fear, and Penelope for really radiating distrust and resentment of Miro after he's been positioning himself between her and Kip, like telling her to stay out of the ring when they won on Elevation. Yeah that's the best part. Loads of guys are intimidating as an opponent, buy being so scary even to friends makes him so much more. Part of why I'll always maintain this was needed. When he snaps it'll mean something but if you go straight to that it's just Del Rio style aggressive armbars.
