There have been plenty of rumors floating around about Lio Rush over the past week or so. Most of them have to do with Rush having some backstage heat with the WWE locker room.
One of these rumors had to do with Finn Balor. It was reported that Balor gave Rush some advice about his wife sitting in on rehearsal meetings. Balor reportedly advised Rush that Vince McMahon wouldn’t be too happy with his wife sitting in on these rehearsals. Rush reportedly responded unfavorably to this advice and the news spread quickly to the WWE locker room.
Rush was interviewed by Fightful, where he gave his side of the story of some these rumors.
He had an interesting response about the Finn Balor stuff, claiming that someone backstage wants him fired and is leaking false information to get him fired. Here is a quote:
“Me and Finn are cool ,and my wife has never been an issue. There is someone who works for WWE who has hated me since the day I’ve worked for ROH and now that they work for WWE they’re leaking false information to get me released. At a certain point, I have to defend myself so that’s what I decided to do. We’re all human, and we’re all grown ass adults. The kind of shit the flies backstage is ridiculous and I’m surprised more people aren’t speaking up,”
We will let you know if we hear anything more. Let the speculation begin on who the former ROH employee is that wants Rush fired.
