There have been plenty of rumors floating around about Lio Rush over the past few days. This includes rumors that he has some backstage heat in WWE.
These rumors may have some legs behind them as Rush did not appear alongside Bobby Lashley on RAW this week. This seems to be a big hint that WWE has split them up as a duo.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider provided an interesting update on Lio. Here is what he wrote:
“There’s been a lot of talk about the future of Lio Rush. He was backstage at Raw last night, but was not used. There’s been a lot of talk within the company that he’s going to be shifted back over to WWE NXT in the near future”
Johnson also adds some context behind Rush rubbing some people in the locker room the wrong way:
“Rush has been a polarizing figure backstage for some time among other wrestlers, dating back to the November 2018 European tour, where as the junior member of the tour, he blew off what has long been considered standard backstage etiquette for the junior member of the roster on overseas tours, including being at the gorilla position after matches to provide water to talents as they returned from the ring as well as carrying coolers and drinks into the hotels where the roster was staying in order to set up a common area where everyone could socialize privately together. These sorts of menial jobs are often done to show respect to the locker room and the business and are usually passed on to the next junior member of the locker room when someone else is brought up to the main roster”
How would you feel about Rush going back to NXT? Let me know in the comment section below.
