#4 AEW star Miro takes a massive dig at Vince McMahon

AEW's Miro has recently reacted to being labeled as an ex-WWE star ever since leaving promotion a few years ago.

While speaking with The Zaslow Show, the Bulgarian star stated that stars like him, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, and Jon Moxley aren't affixed to the ex-WWE label since these wrestlers made their names even before joining the global juggernaut.

Miro further took a shot at Vince McMahon, stating that God made him what he's today, not the WWE owner:

“CM Punk and Bryan Danielson and me, [Jon Moxley], none of these guys — we’re not ‘WWE guys’ as everyone calls it. These people have been around the world way before WWE, so when somebody says ‘this guy is [ex] WWE’, it’s absolutely incorrect. God made me, not Vince McMahon, so [WWE] was just a place to do professional wrestling because there was no other options. But now there’s plenty of other options, exciting options. AEW is the best wrestling company in the world and we prove that day in and day out," Miro said. (H/T- WrestleZone)

The Redeemer believes AEW has emerged as an alternative, given that initially, there were no options to thrive in the business except for WWE. He has quickly risen through the ranks since joining Tony Khan's promotion as he became one of the most successful TNT Champions in history.


#3 Dream match involving AEW star Kenny Omega scrapped

It's no secret now that Kenny Omega is suffering from multiple injuries that would require him to undergo multiple surgeries to fix it up. Previous reports have suggested that The Cleaner has Vertigo, knee issues, abdomen hernia, and a shoulder injury.

He recently showed up on Dynamite to announce a leave of absence to fix some things. Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Omega's AAA Mega title defense against El Hijo Del Vikingo is off the cards.

Both men were initially scheduled for the upcoming Lucha Libre AAA's Triplemania Regia II on December 4 next month. Despite Kenny Omega's absence, the promotion still has an alternative, but it is yet to be confirmed.
