Former ROH World Champion and one of the biggest stars in all of pro wrestling RUSH made his presence felt at the AEW Double Or Nothing PPV Event, when he appeared in a backstage segment with another top Mexican-born wrestler and All Elite Wrestling Star Andrade El Idolo. Andrade El Idolo did a backstage segment, where he talked about the A.F.O. and said he didn’t sign with AEW to lose. Andrade then said he is there to introduce his new business partner, which was none other than RUSH.
RUSH recently spoke with Lucha Libre Online, where he provided an update on his status with All Elite Wrestling as well as the segment he was a part of at the AEW Double Or Nothing PPV Event.
This is what RUSH said:
“I am grateful to Tony Khan for giving me the opportunity.” “We are still under talks and negotiations. For now, there are just dates (not a full-time contract). I already did the first jump (step), which is being in the PPV, and not just a segment, but they gave it the value that both Rush and Andrade have. They left that promo for the end. Nobody expected it, not even my own family.”
RUSH also spoke about how his objective right now in the United States is with All Elite Wrestling as well as how he wants to face the biggest names they have to offer such as AEW World Champion CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Samoa Joe and Kenny Omega.
This is what RUSH said:
“For now, my objective is AEW.” “I am now in AEW and I want to face the biggest names. I want everything! I am not going for the minimum. You name it! CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, (Jon) Moxley, Samoa Joe, the best they have (to offer).”
“Imagine Rush vs Samoa Joe. There’s a lot of material. Bryan Danielson vs Toro Blanco Rush, two ex ROH World Champions against each other. There’s Moxley, which they state is the most extreme one. They need to see a real Mexican badass. A lot of people have requested this match… Rush vs. Kenny Omega. We can finally have that match.”
