Will an AEW star join WWE in the future to have a Gunther-like run?

The Twitterverse is apparently conflicted about the quality of an AEW star's former run in WWE.

The star in question, Miro (fka Rusev), had an almost decade-long stint at Stamford-based Promotion. While he has had high moments like the Rusev Day storyline, his booking has also been met with criticism at times.

The 38-year-old star has not fared much better in AEW as well. Although he was initially booked to be one of the strongest wrestlers in the Promotion, even winning the TNT Championship once, his prominence fell drastically over the last year. His last TV appearance was in September 2022, when he teamed up with Sting and Draby Allin to take down House of Black.

A recent discussion about Miro's run at Stamford-based Promotion recently gripped fans on social media. Many Twitter users have put forth their views, with some even comparing it to Gunther's run in the last few months.

CJ Perry believes the AEW star will return to WWE at some point

Given Miro's absence from the Jacksonville-based Promotion, many have started questioning his return. It appears that even his wife thinks that he is headed back to Triple-H's roster at some point.

Speaking on The Mike Wennmacher Show, CJ Perry (fka Lana) spoke about her husband's potential future plans. She also mentioned that it was likely that Miro would return to his previous company in the future.

"Rusev Day will never die. It's always going to be around, the kids are gonna wanna sing it, and I'm sure it will make a return in WWE at some point. You know, Rusev will, whenever he shows back in and whatever freakin' name or gimmick or character at some point in WWE, it's going to be iconic... Let's be honest, we know that everyone always returns back to WWE at some point." [9:07 - 9:45]

As of now, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Miro.
