PWInsider reports that Rush will continue to wrestle for CMLL in Mexico, but will no longer work with MLW. Rush is considered one of the top names in Mexico.

MLW posted the following on their website, announcing that Rush would no longer work his scheduled match against LA Park on April 4th.

With great reluctance Rush has been forced to withdraw from his April 4th match against LA Park.

Despite efforts by MLW Rush was pulled due to the insistence of a third party promoter.

“This is a match and organization Rush wanted to be a part of but sometimes politics get in the way and that’s what this comes down to: politics,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer.
