On last night’s AEW Dynamite (05/19/21), Miro addressed the crowd for the first time after winning the TNT title. The promo, which also featured Lance Archer, has the fans buzzing on social media.
Before that, let’s recall his actions from. This week. Miro came out to the ring and thanked Jesus Christ for protecting him and giving him the strength to defeat others.
With the help of Christ, Miro took from Darby what the latter said could not be taken. However, ‘The Bulgarian‘ forgave Allin despite him talking trash about ‘the Best Man’ and advised him to go home and make “more of his college student videos.”

As a “we want Darby” chant broke out, Miro unclasped the title belt, put it up in the air, and said, “There’s your Darby.” He also announced he would be defending his title on next week’s special Friday Night Live Dynamite. Post that, Miro’s opponent for Double or Nothing, Lance Archer, came out with Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts.

Archer claimed that Miro did not know what it was to be “a beast” or the history of the TNT title. Although Archer did not win the title at last year’s Double or Nothing PPV, he would be walking off with the title.
Archer was glad he was going to fight the TNT Champion as it would be a fight similar to that of ‘King Kong vs Godzilla.’ At the end of the match, Archer would make the latter his “Bulgarian Bi***.”
Miro heard it all and ridiculed Archer for bringing “his old man to hold him back.” However, on Double or Nothing, even Jake Roberts would not save him. He knew everybody dies but insisted Archer died first and ended the segment.
AEW Fans react to the heated promo between Miro and Lance Archer
Ahead of their bout on the PPV, the promo definitely added some dimension to the ‘Archer vs Miro’ rivalry. The announcement of Dante Martin ( one-half of Top Flight) facing Miro for the title next week also made buzz among the fans.
Some fans praised Miro for his impeccable promo delivery –
“Thank you Jesus for blessing me with the ability to crush people” is some hard man shit, Miro for life.

Needless to say, I think we are getting the Miro we all wanted from the beginning. There really won’t be much build between the two before Double Or Nothing but damn that was fucking awesome with Miro and Lance Archer #AEWDynamite

Some fans applauded AEW for putting up Lance and The Bulgarian in a feud together –
Theyve really been doing this push thing for Lance for quite some time now.
I’ve always been a fan since I first saw him at NJPW.
But Miro is also a guy I’ve wanted to have a push for quite a while too..
So..
Who tf do I cheer for when I get there?! 😭😭
Boy this is tough. https://t.co/a3DN2iZs8B— 🅵🅻🅾🆁🅸🅳🅸🅰🅽 🅳🅰🆅🅴 (@FloridianLucha) May 19, 2021
Proud of AEW for completely turning Miro around as a killer after a huge misstep since his arrival. Goes to show that AEW will do goodwill to their audience if it isn't working for the most part. #AEWDynamite

Miro thrashed and tossed Allin during their fight on Dynamite. Keeping that in mind, fans are concerned about the well-being of Dante following the match next week –
