Miro Officially Announced For WWE WrestleMania 41 Week

Miro/Rusev will be in Las Vegas during WWE WrestleMania 41 week, with the former US Champion set to make an appearance at an event during the week’s festivities.

The ‘Bulgarian Brute’ will be making a ‘special guest appearance’ for KnokX Pro Entertainment & Academy, a WWE ID affiliated promotion founded by Rikishi and Reno Anoa’i. Rusev reportedly signed a new deal with WWE earlier this week after his release from All Elite Wrestling in February.

Whilst a date for Rusev’s return has not been revealed, the fact he is set to be in town for Mania week could indicate a return during one of WWE’s myriad shows over the course of their stay in Vegas.

The multi-time champion last wrestled in late February, losing to Alberto del Rio at an independent event. Prior to this, Miro last wrestled at AEW Worlds End in December 2023, defeating Andrade el Idolo in what would turn out to be both men's last match for the promotion.

Rusev is one of many names who departed AEW in early 2025 ahead of an expected WWE return/debut, with the likes of Penta, Ricky Saints, Malakai Black, and Rey Fenix all swapping AEW for WWE.
