Rush debuted for AEW at the 2021 Double Or Nothing event in the Casino Battle Royale. He suffered an injury during the match that led to him making the decision to retire.
It was later revealed by Rush that AEW President Tony Khan still wanted to bring him on despite the injury.
Earlier this month, Khan tweeted out that he had been talking to Rush about coming back to AEW. Lio is also working with New Japan Pro-Wrestling as a part of their USA roster. He is headlining this week’s NJPW STRONG.
