Lio Rush is back in the fold at AEW.
Rush had been absent from All Elite Wrestling, and instead worked for TNA, MLW and NJPW over the past couple of years. However, Lio made an in-ring return in May, and made a good enough impression that he was quickly booked to face Roderick Strong at the following night’s tapings.
Since then, we’ve had numerous subscribers ask about his status with the company. We haven’t confirmed that he’s signed with AEW again, but is expected to be a regular with them as things stand. Lio was factored in to the most recent intro that aired on AEW Collision, and has creative plans.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp was told that Lio made a positive impression towards his return, and spoke interpersonally with Tony Khan.
