New TNT Champion Crowned On 5/12/21 Dynamite

Miro has crushed Darby Allin and successfully captured gold on his first attempt.

Rusev was released by WWE on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, and a little over a year later, Miro is now the AEW TNT Champion.

Benefiting from the dirty work of Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page both last week and tonight, Miro was able to withstand the best efforts of Darby Allen to retain his championship and ultimately submit him to the Game Over Camel Clutch and become only the fourth TNT Champion in history.

Miro did not have too much time to celebrate as Lance Archer came out immediately to confront the new champion.
