AEW Star Admits There’s A Lot He Would’ve Changed About Miro Storyline

AEW

AEW star Kip Sabian has recalled his on-screen team with Miro, sharing his honest thoughts on the pairing.

Following Miro’s WWE exit in April 2020, many fans called for the Bulgarian star to join AEW and dominate the newer company’s roster.

It took a while for Miro to firmly establish himself as a serious singles competitor, with the popular name aligning himself with Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford in September 2020 and remained with them until March 2021.

Speaking on the Sappenin’ Podcast Kip Sabian noted that there’s a lot he’d change about this pairing creatively in hindsight.

Opening up about health issues he was also dealing with at the time, Sabian said:

Then we (Sabian & Penelope Ford) had the thing with Miro which was great fun because I get on great with Miro. Shout out to Miro. He’s probably one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met.

“He was very, very enjoyable to work with… But with me, he was very enjoyable to work with because he was always open to the ideas that we had. But, as much as I enjoyed doing that, the character that I was portraying during all this time, it wasn’t really me, I couldn’t find the me that I wanted.

“I liked video games so we did the video game thing but, it wasn’t really me and I look back now and I’m like, ah, there’s a lot I would have changed.

“Plus, during this time, I was prediabetic at one point which was horrible, because American soda is full of sugar and I’m an idiot and drank too much of it. God damn you.

“So yeah, I was prediabetic and then I tore my labrum which, you know, progressively got worse but I wanted to continue the story we were doing so I kept it very close to my chest at that point that it was hurting as much as it was.

“So I was basically being held together by tape the whole time. But it wasn’t until I went away that I started to realize what I could do with wrestling from a creative standpoint.”
