Miro is stepping out of the ring and into the world of wrestling education with the launch of Catch Pro Wrestling Academy, and he’s doing it his way.
The WWE Star dropped all the details on the Identity Crisis podcast with CJ Perry, confirming the school opens in March 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. But this isn’t just another training center — it’s a full-blown wrestling ecosystem.
“Well, I have the school, the wrestling school, Catch Pro Wrestling Academy. If you’re out there, we’re opening in March. So, yeah, that’s my new goal… to be very successful,” Miro announced.
One of the most unique elements? Kids classes. According to Miro, Catch will be one of the first pro wrestling schools in the U.S. to offer training for children.
“It’s going to have kids’ classes, which is, I believe, the first pro wrestling school to ever offer this.”
With 15 kids already signed up and 150+ inquiries, Miro sees this as more than just a gym — it’s a gateway for the next generation. Unlike traditional wrestling schools that charge thousands up front, Miro says Catch will use a gym membership-style model, making it more accessible for fans and aspiring talent.
“A lot of schools, they want to take your ,000, ,000… and that’s cool, that’s their style. But we’re going to offer something different—like a gym membership where people can train without spending thousands up front.”
The school will serve beginners, intermediates, and pros, offering everything from endurance and footwork drills to character building and match psychology. One of the standout features will be a promo room — modeled after WWE’s Performance Center — where students can record and review their promos.
“We’re going to have a promo room… a specific room like blocked out with a camera that you go in, shoot your vignette, shoot your promos, and work on your character.”
CJ Perry shared how their early days in WWE involved filming multiple promos daily. That work ethic got them heat — but also results.
“We got heat from our co-workers because the coaches said Lana was shooting too many promos in the mirror room… the new rule became everyone had to shoot one per day—and only one.”
The vision doesn’t stop in Nashville. CJ Perry confirmed they’re already planning to franchise Catch Academy worldwide, with future locations eyed for L.A., Bulgaria, and beyond.
“This is going to be one of many. Not just the only one… We want to bring Catch Academy to L.A., Bulgaria, and take it worldwide.”
There’s even talk of hosting international students at “Miro Manor” — their home — to recreate that classic “wrestling house” vibe for long-term trainees. Miro’s not just offering drills — he’s offering a mindset shift. This is about building wrestlers from the ground up, whether they want to wrestle locally or chase global success.
“I’m teaching a trade. You can go all over the world and make money.”
With Catch Pro Wrestling Academy, Miro and CJ are building more than a school — they’re building a legacy.
