Following Sunday night’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view, independent wrestling promotion Beyond Wrestling announced that Lio Rush was off their show later this week due to injury. This obviously concerned fans, especially given the bumps he took during the ladder match to crown a new TNT Champion. However, the former X Division Champion has now confirmed on X that he’ll be fine after a couple of ice baths, which is excellent news, considering he only returned to AEW a few months ago.
Most pro wrestling fans are familiar with the 29-year-old for his time in WWE between 2017 and 2020, where he held the NXT Cruiserweight Championship and even managed Bobby Lashley on the main roster. Still, his career stalled after he developed a reputation as having attitude problems. This, along with injuries and mental health struggles, has seen him announce his retirement from the business on more than one occasion. Yet, he appears to be in a good place currently, and while it’s understood he isn’t contracted to AEW, that’s likely his aim.
