A recent episode of Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge podcast featured Miro as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Miro providing an injury update revealing that he has been recovering from a shoulder and elbow injuries.

“I have a shoulder injury and an elbow injury that occurred late last year, so finally took care of it late January. Got a whole bunch of shots and now I’m recovering, rehabbing, and come back stronger than ever.”

Miro also gave his thoughts about his experience working with Khan in AEW.

“Tony’s great, man. He’s creative, his mind is running always, he always thinks about wrestling, he’s always thinking about how to get things better. So I respect that. I respect that he loves wrestling – he did all his life. And now he’s carried that to the second or one of the biggest companies in the world.”

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources stated that the miserable look that AEW commentator Tony Schiavone gave on-screen following the airing of the footage was not him being legit sad. Instead, those close to the situation reportedly stated that Schiavone was just selling The Young Bucks’ heelish actions from their promo segment.

In regards to AEW’s plans to air the footage, Meltzer reported that his sources confirmed that it was Khan’s idea and the Young Bucks were not upset over it. Meltzer reported that the Young Bucks have personally moved on from their situation with Punk and did felt it was a bit weird to have gone back to the past but were happy to try and turn it into helping their current storyline feud with FTR for the AEW World Tag Team titles.

Meltzer reported that the Young Bucks were happy with how everything turned out for their segment on the show.
