Lio Rush Explains Why His Run In AEW Didn’t Work Out

In an interview with K&S Wrestlefest (via Wrestling Inc), Lio Rush spoke about his brief run in AEW and while he didn’t stay with the company for very long. Rush debuted at AEW Double or Nothing 2021 and was gone less than a year later.

He said: “I feel like AEW clearly had a plan for me. I was presented a certain way. They had the vignettes and everything. So they knew what to do with me in terms of a plan they had. Was it what I saw for myself in the company? Probably not. I just came from being a manager on TV. Probably the last thing I would want to do is transition over and do a similar role.“
