In the latest episode of the Ange Show, AEW wrestling star Miró makes a guest appearance on the show, talking about his past NXT career at WWE and how his partnership with his wife Lana (aka CJ Perry) came about.
The AEW superstar details his behind-the-scenes story with Nala.
"My wife, Lana, we met before she signed up, and it wasn't until two weeks later that Dusty found out she could speak perfect English and perfect Russian."
"Then I knew they were already paying attention to me because I had a match with DovZiegler and HHH saw it and he started asking who I was and then from that point on we were on the WWE journey.' ”
Since moving from WWE to AEW, Miró has been dubbed "the man of WWE" by many.
Miro responded: "God created me, not WWE Boss Vince. "
Unfortunately, the former TNT champion is dealing with injuries and has not returned to the ring since he played against Brian Danielson, who also joined AEW from WWE, on Full Gear in November 2021.
Continuing to talk about the beginning of his journey at WWE, Miró talked about his time at NXT and how the Bulgarian state had an opinion on the way he behaved.
The former U.S. champion also spoke about WWE boss Vince not wanting him to be with Lana, which led to hHH's speech later and making sure the two stayed together on the main roster.
"When I decided to wave the Bulgarian flag at NXT, a problem arose."
"Nobody knows us, so for music, we decided to use the Bulgarian national anthem, which I think is good, because once it gets the heat, it means standing firm, and then Bulgaria has an opinion on us, and I don't even know why they have an opinion about me, but to be honest, we have to stick with it." ”
"As for one of the issues between us and Vince, Vince always liked big men and he thought women would affect the heat, so in the beginning Vince didn't want Nala to show up."
"But thanks to HHH, he fought for us, he always believed that Lana and I were a whole group, and I think that was definitely the right choice, I think, at WWE, without Lana being there, Rusef at that time would not have been a real Russef."
