Lio Rush in the doghouse again

[Norrin Radd]

WE RAW Superstar Lio Rush reportedly has heat within the company.

Rush has reportedly made it very clear to many people within the company that he thinks he should the top guy on the brand, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Rush is not shy about sharing where he thinks he should be in the company and The Observer noted that he's a very confident man, which can rub people the wrong way, even though that's what it takes to be a star in the business.

There's no word yet on what the heat will mean for Rush's career, but The Observer noted that he was not with Bobby Lashley for this week's RAW dark main event in Des Moines, Iowa. That match saw Braun Strowman and WWEUniversal Champion Seth Rollins defeat Lashley and Drew McIntyre. Lashley did not appear on this week's RAW broadcast. Rush did appear on last Monday's Superstar Shakeup edition of RAW from Montreal, with Lashley. Rush has been in the managerial role with Lashley for the most part, but he did work a few WWE 205 Live matches earlier this year.

Rush took to Twitter this afternoon and issued what could be seen as a direct response to the reports.

"The fact of the matter is no matter what you do you do in life, no matter what route you take, you'll always have people out t here that'll try to tear you down. Tell you that you can't be or do something. Try to stomp on your name and hault your success. The fact of the matter is that i love what i do and have been in love with the dreams of being in the current position that I'm in now since i was 5 years old . The fact of the matter is that i am a young, hungry, and humble husband and father of two boys who believes in himself more than anybody will ever believe in me. The fact of the matter is that i am a passionate African American male in America who takes my passion seriously and will do whatever it takes to change me and my family's situation," Rush wrote.

He signed the contract knowing exactly what it was they do. I rated him on the indies too. Hate it had to be him


shyt like this is why I was when Shane Strickland signed. Dude knows how they get down. Stayed calling out some shyt on his podcast, but was still happy as fukk to join up, despite the fact he was a legit star on the indies, and probably could have shined in AEW.

I have a bad feeling that he's gon learn the hard way too

Listen be real here , he isn’t a main eventer. He is way too small to be believable.
As a manager he can be effective. Interfering and as a mouth piece. He should be the manager of Asuka and the Pirate. He would kill that roll. Anyone thinking he is a universal or world champ is crazy.

He's not that much smaller than AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan

Hell, a 5 foot, 110 pound woman is like a 5 time champion dominating other women bigger than her

Believablity in the WWE died in the 80s

He thinks he should be the top guy huh

 

[Hey_zeus]

They should've been showcasing him instead of *Crickets*chet.

Right, WWE is a TV show at this point they can book anybody they want in the top spot and it won't matter. Now I'm not saying he should be a top guy but he is being underutilized and he should definitely be in the mid-card mix.

This dude wants a Roman Reigns push.

There's a difference in being the World champion and being a featured guy. Lio very well has a massive personality to be a featured guy,
