Miro has been injured since September, got medical attention in January

AEW wrestler Miro has been dealing with an injury since September.

Earlier this week, Tony Khan announced that the Meat Madness match that was planned for AEW Revolution was being postponed because multiple wrestlers who he wanted to be in the match are out of action. Khan then noted on his pre-Revolution media call that Miro and Keith Lee were two of the wrestlers he was hoping to use, but neither is currently available.

Miro posted a tweet on Friday morning explaining that he’s been injured since September and received medical attention in January. Miro hasn’t wrestled since defeating Andrade El Idolo at AEW’s Worlds End pay-per-view in December.

Miro wrote that he’s sorry Khan “wasn’t aware” of his situation:

I’ve been injured since September and i got medical attention in January. Sorry he wasn’t aware of it

Wardlow, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Lance Archer had been announced for Meat Madness. They’ll now be three of the participants in the eight-man All-Star Scramble match that’s taking place at Revolution instead.

Khan said on the Revolution media call that he got the idea for Meat Madness after hearing the “Meat” chants for Miro vs. Hobbs at All Out 2023 and Lee vs. Brian Cage on Collision last December:

And one of the great moments on the [All Out] show was Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs and the ‘Meat’ chants from Chicago. I don’t think these were just isolated to Chicago. Then we went on the road and in other big-man matches we had them. We had ‘Meat Forever’ chants during Miro vs. Hobbs at All Out. And then we had a great match on Collision, I think it was in December, and it was Brian Cage vs. Keith Lee. And it was on a really strong episode of the show, I believe it was around the Continental Classic. And this was a great show that had lots of good matches on it, and then also a match outside of the tournament [with] big men Keith Lee vs. Brian Cage. And the crowd really enjoyed that.

Now, I wanted to put a lot of the big wrestlers and get the crowd fired up for a multi-man scramble, a Meat Madness match. And I think the crowd would enjoy it and it would be a lot of fun, but some of the wrestlers I was hoping to use, including some of the wrestlers I just named, you know, the Miro vs. Hobbs chant and the Keith Lee vs. Brian Cage. Right now, you know, there are two great wrestlers in AEW just as an example, Miro and Keith Lee are both out. Neither one is available. And some of our big men being out injured, I wanted to have the depth in the field to do the match I’d really originally envisioned. I think people would enjoy that.

Khan said he still wants to do the Meat Madness match when AEW has their big men healthy at the same time.

Revolution is taking place from Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday (March 3).
