Lio Rush was taken to the ER at PWG BOLA night two.
Rush competed in a second round matchup against Buddy Matthews and won the bout via DQ. The finish saw Matthews hit a curb stomp and then continue his attack as the referee checked on Rush, leading to the DQ finish.
Before his scheduled semifinal match against "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Matthews came out and told that crowd that Rush has been taken to the ER and that he would be taking his place.

There's concern that the thrown drinks contributed to Lio's injury. Excalibur reprimanded the fans as a result and they accepted responsibility. #BOLA2022 #PWG pic.twitter.com/B8iP33BzzA

Lio took to social media to say that he is not good, but he will be good. He did not give an update or diagnosis on his condition.
Just being honest with you guys here. I’m not good. But i will be good. And when I’m back, I’ll be dangerous. #ManOfTheHour.
