AEW star Miro gave his honest feelings regarding the way the AEW TNT Title has been treated since he was champion.
Miro had the title for 140 days and was one of the most dominant title reigns of AEW’s history thus far. He lost it last September to Sammy Guevara. It then went back and forth with Cody Rhodes and Scorpio Sky, who is the current champ after defeating Guevara for the gold in a ladder match in April.
While speaking with WhatCulture, Miro argued that the TNT Title has lost prestige thanks to Guevara when he was champion.
“Well, it’s the man that creates the title, not the title that creates the man. I think everything I did with that title (TNT Championship) was the fruits of my labor. The title didn’t come with all this heaviness. I mean, it came from Darby (Allin) which is a great competitor but, you know, it was — we’re just such different people, such a different style, and then everybody that came after that, they tried to take it but that’s just not possible.”
Miro continued, “So, I don’t even take fault of that but I take fault — I take a fault of maybe being too good of a champion because ever since I lost that title, that title has gone to s**ts and that’s nothing but to blame Sammy Guevara for that, so he’s got to bear the cross for that.”
Sky was last seen in action on the June 3 edition of Rampage where he successfully defended the TNT Championship against Dante Martin. Following the match on Twitter, Sky confirmed that he is dealing with a leg injury.
