Miro Says ‘Ex-WWE’ Label For Talent Is Absolutely Incorrect: God Made Me, Not Vince McMahon

Miro says he knows who his creator is.

Miro appeared on The Zaslow Show on 560 Sports WQAM and spoke about the expanding All Elite Wrestling roster and how they balance getting television time for veterans and newer talent. After Zaslow noted that AEW has seen some former WWE talent like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson come over in recent months, Miro pointed out that he would’ve beaten Danielson at Full Gear if he was healthy, then said that labeling them “ex-WWE guys” is incorrect for a few reasons.

“Well, first of all, if I was at my full health, I would have destroyed Bryan Danielson in about eight minutes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t, and I had to be labored through this whole match. But I would’ve won that match [if I was healthy] 100 percent, I’ve said that before. Unfortunately, God had a different opinion, it is what it is. But as far as younger talent, it’s up to them. Once again, you have to step up your game.

“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.

“As far as the young guys, they have to step it up. They have to step it up because yes, big names are coming in and they’re having amazing matches and a great impact, but it’s up to the young guys to step up to ask questions to see what they can do better, that’s what it’s all about.”
