If Miro is not willing to return by Double Or Nothing, then he should be released.

I feel for the guy; he's been hard done by in WWE and he was doing great in AEW, but good god what material are they pitching him that this is a justifiable response to when he went along with multiple stories of his wife cheating on him, and accepting the gaslighting that he wasn't really over with Rusev Day and people were only cheering him to mock him so he shouldn't ask for anything better than what he's being given?

Legit nobody really knows what is being pitched. The only thing that has been semi confirmed is when Hobbs turned on Ricky they pitched a Hobbs/Miro feud and Miro said no.
I wonder if at this point the sticking point is Miro wants his wife to be used and AEW for obvious reasons isn't keen on that (this is just a theory)

Write something for him, if he doesn’t want to do it then stop paying him. I can’t imagine his contract lets him refuse to work and still get paid.

I can’t blame him because that’s what his WWE run wound up being, but I do think at some point you have to work, too.

There's value in being a gatekeeper and it will result in title reigns and high profile matches. Samoa Joe IMO right now is a gatekeeper. Put the TNT title on him to give the belt credibility and anybody who wrestles him will be credible and if they beat him it gets them over. Ishii is a gatekeeper in New Japan. I'm just curious like what angles have been pitched to him or what he is pitching because wrestlers who have left AEW have been pretty open in saying if you have ideas for yourself you're going to be given more time

"How about we have Bobby Lashley sleep with your wife again?" "He doesn't even work here..." "Cross brand synergy Miro! We can get the Rusev Day trademark this way maybe!"

Tony obviously wasn't interested, and now Miro has completely disappeared, so yeah it does make you think.

I don't blame Tony, or anyone for that matter, for not wanting to sign CJ. Like, I'd hold my nose and deal with it if she was just there as a valet/manager. But if she wanted to wrestle? I'm good.

That and with how much CJ has gone out of her way to saw AEW is the minors? Feels like to me that may be part of what is in play

No clue what the deal is but it’s not like dude would walk back into the WWE and be a big deal either. He should work and try to improve his value. 🤷🏻♂️

Did he get offered to play at no.9 instead of that Mitrovic or something?

Her career highlight was Nia Jax putting her through an announce table for like 8 weeks straight, yeah I wouldn't cave to hiring her if that was Miro's demand either, especially since she's been firing off about how they can go to WWE any time they want, which... like no they can't and WWE has clearly not been ringing your number CJ lmfao

I thought I’ve only seen her say that she would go back if they offered it to her. No need to knock her.

Dude's coming off like he thinks he's above everyone else, I mean who knows what he's expecting out of creative, but you'd think he'd at least put in some work for the time being and settle on a storyline along the way.

I remember seeing articles from her saying WWE was the best place for wrestling and such, it seemed like not so subtle digs and everyone here thought so too I'm sure she'd shut her trap if AEW signed her, but it doesn't seem like it's in their plans and they aren't biting if Miro's trying to use that as collateral

She is mad that TK didnt give her an offer and now she is going full Road Dogg/Bischoff mode, Miro is never coming back or he will get Brian Caged once if he returns(constantly jobbing on tv)

I don’t believe she’s said that.
