Lio Rush announced he is a free agent mid February

[Jello Biafra]

In this part of his interview with Sean Ross Sapp it seems clear that Lio was not sticking around long term under a contract with AEW:


Thanks to the homie @LevelUp and his thread where he posted the interview.

That's disappointing. The Lio/Dante pairing was really good and Lio was getting good babyface reactions from the crowd.

 

[White City Black]

Was expecting this comment and there it is

Some of them Wrestling Twitter CACs couldn’t wait to get in the comments to say this shyt…

That, and/or those speculating him leaving had to do with his reaction to the Big Swole/TK situation. I mean, we all can speculate all day, but either way his exit seems abrupt as hell.

Lio would become a star in Impact tho

It was a done deal when they fumbled the Dante Martin storyline.

 

[Metal Face]

spoke up to his racist boss now this

Salute my bro

 

[Hahahaha]

Another wasted signing…Lio would’ve been perfect to manage Jade Cargill. The manager she has now doesn’t add anything to her Character at all.

shyt I thought he was doing a good job managing Dante…they whiffed on that too smh.

Don't think he's supposed to. I expect she'll bush him within a few months.

Lio was never gonna last in AEW after he called out Tony Khan. They replaced him with Jay Lethal like he was Aunt Viv.

Brian Cage and his wife complained on twitter and he hasn't been seen since October. Tony's probably waiting for his contract to expire too.

Weak as hell if Tony fired him for the Big Swole situation

Hasn't had a match since he spoke up

Boy cant even get on Dark Elevation

 

[AMcV'88]

couldn't even get Swole her apology, folded like a clown and still couldn't even get a year of money out of them.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

What does he want from wrestling at this point?

 

[Mastamimd]

T.K. the modern day Herb Abrams

“Maybe he gets a run in the main event scene in aew”

fukk, I really wanted his program with Dante to continue. They were one of the best parts of their TV shows
