5 Wrestlers who have appeared in both WWE and AEW in 2020

#3. Former WWE star Miro

Rusev was once seen as a popular star in WWE, which is why it came as such a shock when he was released from the company back in April. The former United States Champion was reported to have been dragging his feet when it came to signing a new contract with WWE, but it was believed that he would have in the future.

Rusev's wife Lana had already penned a five-year deal with WWE but it appears that The Bulgarian Brute decided against re-signing and was then released as part of the company's budget cuts.

His final WWE match came back in February when he teamed with Humberto Carrillo in a losing effort against Angel Garza and Bobby Lashley.

On the September 9th episode of AEW Dynamite, Rusev made a shock appearance under the new name Miro, where he was revealed as the best man for Kip Sabian's wedding. Just weeks later, he made his in-ring debut teaming with Sabian against Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss in a winning effort.
