If it doesn’t come, it’s not meant to be.”Ĭould the day eventually come where Rush returns to AEW? Sure. I don’t know how they feel on the other end, and I’m not worried how they feel on the other end, I’m doing me. I don’t think that door was closed, at least from what I know. The situation was what it was, and we parted ways. Even with my departure, there was no bad blood. Look what New Japan is doing with AEW right now. I do think, one day, it’ll be inevitable for me to cross paths with Tony again. There are things in my life that mean a little more to me, that are closer to the surface than doing something that I don’t feel comfortable with for a paycheck. I can’t live this double personality lifestyle. I can’t hop on a plane and go all over the country and not be myself. That’s honestly what is most important to me. I feel like I made the best out of the opportunity I was presented while staying true to myself. “I don’t think anything is ever closed,” Rush said. Tony Khan weighs in on WWE double booking AEW Double or Nothing That’s always a frustrating thing, but like you said when say stuff it just gets f*cking blown up.”Īlready announced for NJPW's Super Junior Tag League in a Chaos tag team with Yoh, Rush isn't exactly hurting for in-ring opportunities, but expecting him back in AEW might be a fool's errand, as Khan probably doesn't think too kindly of his comments. No, I don’t think that exactly knew what to do with me. Which I’m not, yanno… I’m so grateful for that time period because it taught me how to talk, it taught me how to present myself and build others up. If that’s how he saw me, that’s the only light he sees me in… that’s he’s gonna shift me to be in that kind of role. It’s like, yanno, he made it pretty clear to me, verbally, that when he was a fan of me, it was when I was in WWE and I was doing the manager stuff with Bobby. “When I say things, I don’t wanna sound like it was breaking news because I feel like these things are so blatantly obvious. So what's next for Rush? Only time will tell, but after hinting that he could return to AEW in the past, his recent appearance on the Say Less podcast, dubbed “ The Rebirth of Lio Rush,” Rush clouded up those prospects as, after being asked if Khan knew what to do with him in the ring, the “MOTH” gave a very interesting answer, as transcribed by Fightful. While he hasn't been a full-time wrestler for much of 2022, as Rush suffered a dislocated shoulder at PWG Battle of Los Angeles versus Buddy Matthews that sent him to the hospital, Rush returned to GCW in October for a series of scrambles and has since gone on to wrestle seven more matches, including a GCW World Championship bout at Hit Em Up versus Nick Gage. Handed a bitcoin millionaire bro sort of gimmick, and tasked with working with Martin largely against Lee Moriarty and Matt Sydal, Rush took part in five total matches over his AEW run, two in Battle Royales, two in tag team contests, and only one singles match, versus Rayo, which lasted a little under three minutes on an episode of AEW Dark. Initially debuting at Double or Nothing 2021 as the joker in the Casino Battle Royale, Rush was injured in his initial debut but returned to Tony Khan's company in November of the same year, where he began to team with Dante Martin, who was without his partner, Darius, who was absent due to injury. Lio Rush has been out of AEW for way longer than he was in the promotion at this point.
