Rusev was among one of the high-profile names to be released alongside Kurt Angle, Zack Ryder and former tag team champions Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
Miro, real name Miroslav Barnyashev, began life in WWE on NXT before heading to the main roster with his wife Lana serving as his manager.
The powerhouse is now starring for rival promotion AEW after debuting for them in September 2020.
He went on an incredible winning streak and claimed the TNT Title after beating Darby Allin.
Unfortunately for him, that championship reign was ended Sammy Guevara in September.
Despite that setback, Miro appears to be fully enjoying himself in AEW - and he looks completely different from his time in WWE physically.

The 37-year-old previously provided fans with a glimpse into his workout routines while he was absent from the ring two years ago.
That included intense chiropractic adjustments that helped him ditch his trademark bulk in favour of a lean look.
And all of that hard work has certainly paid off as he looks completely terrifying inside the ropes these days.
Miro commented on the dramatic transformation this week after a fan shared a before and after snap of his physique on Twitter.
He replied: “Body transformation is just the side effect of hard work #flawless.”
