Lio Rush provides an update on his injury.
At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, Lio Rush suffered a nasty facial injury during his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Title bout where he teamed with YOH against Catch 22 (TJP & Francesco Akira).
It was announced during NJPW New Year Dash!! that Rush had suffered a broken nose and would not be able to wrestle at New Year Dash!!. On social media, Rush said he had no broken facial bones, but would miss PWG Battle of Los Angeles, which is scheduled for January 7 and 8, and be sidelined for a few weeks.
Nasty spill last night on the ramp left me with a few stitches and a massive headache. No broken facial bones. ---- Thank you to the #NJPW staff for taking care of me. I’ll be good. Unfortunately BOLA is out the question. See ya in a few weeks. -- pic.twitter.com/qHzfFy37lK
