Miro

Barnyashev is the only Bulgarian to have wrestled for WWE. Rusev has generally played the character of the villainous foreigner to America since his WWE debut. However, after a storyline began in late 2017 in which he declared every day as “Rusev Day”, he became one of WWE’s most popular wrestlers.

After being released by WWE in April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Miroslav went on a hiatus from wrestling. Five months later, he made his AEW debut on an episode of Dynamite under the new ring name “Miro”. In May 2021, he defeated Darby Allin on Dynamite to become the AEW TNT Champion.
