Rush is currently set to challenge Chris Sabin for the X-Division Championship at the company's Slammiversary pay-per-view.

In a new interview with the Battleground podcast, Rush talked positively about IMPACT's locker room and how he feels the hunger in many of the girls and guys backstage.

“Well now that I’m actually in the locker room and I’ve been in the IMPACT zone a couple of times now, I definitely feel the energy. The energy is a lot different and I feel like the energy is different coming off of the actual wrestlers. There are a lot of people there that are hungry in a different way, you hear the term hungry in wrestling a lot, but I definitely feel like they’ve got something to prove, all of those guys and girls are superstars and they know it, which they should. This is the place to be, this is why I’m here. I’m not gonna waste my time, IMPACT is the place to be and I’m glad to be here.”
