Miroslav Petrov Barnyashev (Bulgarian: Мирослав Петров Барняшев, [miroˈslɑf pɛˈtrɔf bɑrˈnjɑʃɛf]; born December 25, 1985) is a Bulgarian professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in WWE from 2010 to 2020, under the ring name Rusev, and in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) from 2020 to 2025, under the ring name Miro.
In 2010, Barnyashev signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to its developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), which was rebranded as NXT in 2012. He performed on NXT until 2014, when he and his manager Lana were called to WWE's main roster. During his tenure in WWE, he was a three-time WWE United States Champion. He was released by WWE in April 2020, and debuted in AEW in September of that year, winning the AEW TNT Championship once. He departed AEW in February 2025.
