Rusev (Miro) joining All Elite Wrestling has been the latest uproar in the wrestling universe. However, the news is not shocking, given that former WWE Superstars have often made this transition. However, during a recent episode of ToBeMiroTV, Rusev revealed the name of a pro-wrestler with whom he doesn’t want to work. The name of the wrestler is Pac. According to Rusev, Pac (Neville) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac_(wrestler)] has already injured him. As a result, he refuses to work with him any further. “Pac, he already tore my bicep. I’m not working with him anymore. I’m not working with Pac.” Considering that Pac is currently in England, the two of them will not be working together in the recent future. Nevertheless, Pac will return to All Elite Wrestling sooner or later, and that’s when the story will become inevitably interesting.

I mean he has been on top of his game, right? So, what better way to challenge myself against somebody like Kenny? I would love to work with Kenny. He’s a big dude, he’s got the size, he’s got the looks, he’s got all the abilities. I would love to step in the ring and show him what a true beast from Bulgaria via America can do.” THE PRO-WRESTLING COUPLE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS FAN ABUSE However, before Rusev can address his desires to work with specific stars of AEW, he has other pressing matters at hand. Ever since his All Elite Wrestling debut, Rusev has subjected to hard behavior from WWE fans. On the other hand, his wife, Lana (CJ), has been the recipient of cyber bullying from AEW fans. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-superstar-lana-lashes-out-at-fans-cyber-bullying-rusev-miro/] Even though both of them have spoken up about it, this isn’t unexpected. To not expect brutal fan reactions is unusual. Regardless of how things move forward, let’s hope this does not turn out to be a replica of Jon Moxley-Renee Young episode.

Rusev (Miro) reveals the name of the AEW Superstar who injured him gravely
enough that he never wants to work with him in the future.

<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History</h2>
It’s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW’s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn’t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion’s arrival was announced. Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company’s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, “Hangman” Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ‘AEW Double or Nothing,’ had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn’t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It’s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other “violent” acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2020/07/AEW-Dynamite-Darby-Allin-Ricky-Starks-Skateboard.jpg" alt="Ricky Starks Shows Off Bloody Back After Landing On Thumbtacks - Wrestlezone" data-noaft="1" />

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women’s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, “Hangman” Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women’s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://em.wattpad.com/a966bc4df39068d42f7c1a85a2068355f8de60f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f47487274426d344d674a664861513d3d2d3137312e313630623932336531366633623462373636303233313938323135362e6a7067" alt="AEW Smash or Pass - Anna Jay - Wattpad" data-noaft="1" />

AEW also announced the signing of former WWE Superstars Miro (Rusev), Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder), and Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), adding them to the already great roster.

<h2>Rusev 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
Few professional wrestlers can say that they have had as dynamic a career as the one and only Rusev. Miroslav Barnyashev has come a long way from the ring in Bulgaria.

He left his hometown to fulfill his dream in America and wrestled for various promotions across the country before he hit a stroke of luck.

Seeing his drive and natural love for the sport, WWE legend Rikishi and Gangrel trained him. Learning from the best, he quickly picked up the ways of the business.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/20/01/14/c85463d5ca2462948c7383bf93d9c4cb/960.jpg" alt="WWE News: Rusev has indicated that he will become a Free Agent in the near future | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

It took him 2 years to be noticed by a very young NXT, then known as FCW. Performing under the brand, he shortened his name to Miroslav and competed with other developmental talents.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE Career</h3>
He had to push his way through all the other Superstars to earn his place on the main roster. Rusev finally broke his ties with NXT storylines to make his debut in the 2014 Royal Rumble as the 6th entrant.

Fighting through several injuries, Rusev made his way to the main roster for good. Alongside his wife, Lana, Rusev changed his name from ‘Miroslav’ to the one we know him as.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2016/05/088_SD_05032016jg_0690--45f32559ddc96f29a52341399a768bc5.jpg" alt="Rusev vs. Zack Ryder: photos | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

His gimmick saw him become a Russian character, along with Lana. His new role as a Russian made him a politically inspired heel which actually worked. However, this role earned him a lot of flak in his hometown.
<h3>Unbeaten run</h3>
As the “Hero of the Russian Federation”, WWE was trying to go for the Rock IV antagonists Ivan Drago and his wife Ludmilla.  Lana and he earned themselves a lot of boos when Rusev made his way to the ring.

At that moment, he was the perfect heel. Rusev wrecked Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) on his main roster debut and made a statement. He then went on a hot road of wins to meet Sheamus.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2014/08/SS14_Photo_097.jpg" alt="Jack Swagger vs. Rusev – Flag Match: photos | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

“The Celtic Warrior” was no match for the tank who defeated him to claim the United States Championship. You can only imagine how much more the audience turned on him- a heel Russian holding the United States Championship.
<h3>Fight against John Cena</h3>
“Rusev Machka” was unbeaten for a long time. At that moment, he was the most dominant Superstar in WWE. Things were good for him until John Cena entered his life.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/gallery/thumb/2015/03/WM31_Photo_293.jpg" alt="Rusev vs. John Cena - United States Title Match: photos | WWE" data-noaft="1" />

Being made into the typical patriot that we know him as, once again, John Cena faced off with Rusev in a major storyline. Inevitably, the Bulgarian was made the big loser. Initially defending his title at Fastlane, Rusev lost everything at WrestleMania.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Cena defeated Rusev to claim the title, and the only thing he got out of that event was one of the best WrestleMania entrances. He challenged Cena again at Payback in an “I Quit” match. Needless to say, Rusev was buried.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2015/05/PB15_Photo_190-2888208944.jpg" alt="John Cena vs. Rusev -" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Rusev Day</h3>
The Bulgarian never really recovered from that decisive defeat. His next major gig would come with ‘Rusev Day.' This gimmick made him reach a new level of popularity. Fans chanted it non-stop, and he was the buzz everywhere.

Shockingly, Rusev was never used during the peak of his gimmick’s popularity. It soon died down and when the crowd forgot about it, he was brought back.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-64959111,width-1200,height-900,resizemode-4/.jpg" alt="Revealed: The origins of Rusev Day | WWE News - Times of India" data-noaft="1" />

In a later interview, the Superstar revealed that Vince McMahon and the writers had purposely not booked him for any matches because they intentionally wanted to crush the popularity of his gimmick.
<h3>End of WWE stint</h3>
Rusev suffered a crushing loss vs The Undertaker later at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, pushing him further down the ladder.

He subsequently saw a lot of bad storylines and the last one against Bobby Lashley saw him lose his own wife Lana to "The All-Mighty.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> "</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/10/01/7a8d3e14d6a14c88d0a18132e3e6c028/960.jpg" alt="WWE fans shocked with Raw's main event after Lana kisses Bobby Lashley in front of Rusev | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

He was let go by WWE in April 2020 as part of their budget cuts due to the pandemic. However, this did not stop him from following his passion.
<h3>AEW debut</h3>
Rusev debuted for AEW in September 2020 as the best man for Kip Sabian’s wedding and renamed himself, Miro. In his singles debut, he defeated Trent by making him tap out to the Game Over, formerly known as the Accolade.

His gimmick of a gamer/streamer is picked up from his real-life love for video games. Miro has a <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/mirotwch">Twitch stream</a> and a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClzHQvZgzXGyBTjjcQrk80g">YouTube channel</a>.

<h2>Rusev net worth</h2>

Rusev

Rusev 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements Few professional wrestlers can say that they have had as dynamic a career as the one and only Rusev. Miroslav Barnyashev has come a long way from the ring in Bulgaria. He left his hometown to fulfill his dream in America and wrestled for various promotions across the country before he hit a stroke of luck. Seeing his drive and natural love for the sport, WWE legend Rikishi and Gangrel trained him. Learning from the best, he quickly picked up the ways of the business.  It took him 2 years to be noticed by a very young NXT, then known as FCW. Performing under the brand, he shortened his name to Miroslav and competed with other developmental talents.  WWE Career He had to push his way through all the other Superstars to earn his place on the main roster. Rusev finally broke his ties with NXT storylines to make his debut in the 2014 Royal Rumble as the 6th entrant. Fighting through several injuries, Rusev made his way to the main roster for good. Alongside his wife, Lana, Rusev changed his name from ‘Miroslav’ to the one we know him as. His gimmick saw him become a Russian character, along with Lana. His new role as a Russian made him a politically inspired heel which actually worked. However, this role earned him a lot of flak in his hometown. Unbeaten run As the “Hero of the Russian Federation”, WWE was trying to go for the Rock IV antagonists Ivan Drago and his wife Ludmilla.  Lana and he earned themselves a lot of boos when Rusev made his way to the ring. At that moment, he was the perfect heel. Rusev wrecked Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) on his main roster debut and made a statement. He then went on a hot road of wins to meet Sheamus. “The Celtic Warrior” was no match for the tank who defeated him to claim the United States Championship. You can only imagine how much more the audience turned on him- a heel Russian holding the United States Championship. Fight against John Cena “Rusev Machka” was unbeaten for a long time. At that moment, he was the most dominant Superstar in WWE. Things were good for him until John Cena entered his life. Being made into the typical patriot that we know him as, once again, John Cena faced off with Rusev in a major storyline. Inevitably, the Bulgarian was made the big loser. Initially defending his title at Fastlane, Rusev lost everything at WrestleMania.  Cena defeated Rusev to claim the title, and the only thing he got out of that event was one of the best WrestleMania entrances. He challenged Cena again at Payback in an “I Quit” match. Needless to say, Rusev was buried. Rusev Day The Bulgarian never really recovered from that decisive defeat. His next major gig would come with ‘Rusev Day.&#8217; This gimmick made him reach a new level of popularity. Fans chanted it non-stop, and he was the buzz everywhere. Shockingly, Rusev was never used during the peak of his gimmick’s popularity. It soon died down and when the crowd forgot about it, he was brought back. In a later interview, the Superstar revealed that Vince McMahon and the writers had purposely not booked him for any matches because they intentionally wanted to crush the popularity of his gimmick. End of WWE stint Rusev suffered a crushing loss vs The Undertaker later at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, pushing him further down the ladder. He subsequently saw a lot of bad storylines and the last one against Bobby Lashley saw him lose his own wife Lana to &#8220;The All-Mighty. &#8220; He was let go by WWE in April 2020 as part of their budget cuts due to the pandemic. However, this did not stop him from following his passion. AEW debut Rusev debuted for AEW in September 2020 as the best man for Kip Sabian’s wedding and renamed himself, Miro. In his singles debut, he defeated Trent by making him tap out to the Game Over, formerly known as the Accolade. His gimmick of a gamer/streamer is picked up from his real-life love for video games. Miro has a Twitch stream and a YouTube channel. Rusev net worth Miro has a net worth of $1 million in 2021. He earns a good $250,000, a figure which will surely increase over the months.  Rusev stats Rusev is yet to add more titles to his collection, but he hasn’t done too bad in his career so far.
