![]() If I would do one little thing, I could do a million things right and then one thing wrong and that’ll kind of take things back. That in-person meeting did not end up happening. Rush did reach out to Tenille to possibly meet up in person. Honestly, I think that was one of the bigger ones that I didn’t take in a negative way and I kind of let that fuel me and I let that push me even further, so yeah. So, I was looking forward to working with him and I remember that was probably one of the only ones that really kind of cut me a little bit because I was like, ‘Ah man, this guy that I really enjoy watching and I kind of look up to his work is saying something about me in a negative way.’ But I didn’t take it in a negative way. I thought it was cool, I thought it was unique, I thought it was different and I looked forward to hopefully doing something with him while I was there because I’m a creative person myself and I like the theatrics and I like doing things big. I remember at the time really enjoying Bray Wyatt’s work, and I really enjoyed it. Lio added that when Wyatt spoke negatively of him after his tweet about Tenille Dashwood, that was one of the reactions he took to heart. One talent that Rush was hoping to work with in WWE was Bray Wyatt. I didn’t let that release stop me from… loving wrestling. I debuted for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and then a Super J-Cup tournament and you know, I just kept moving forward. I let him know that I was still interested in coming in if he was interested in still having me be a part of AEW in some capacity and months went by and I was still making a name for myself. Ended up calling a wrestler to reach out to my wife and that’s how we found out about that but, I ended up getting back, reached back out to him, just stayed in contact. While I was at The Challenge, and I didn’t know this until I got back home but my wife had told me that the owner of AEW, Tony Khan, he had ended up reaching out to me while I was out in Iceland but I couldn’t go because I was in Iceland and I was supposed to be a part of a show that he was interested in having me be a part of. That season of The Challenge began filming in September 2020. Rush shared that Tony Khan initially contacted him while he was filming MTV’s The Challenge. ![]() Rush debuted for AEW at Double or Nothing 2021 and was formally announced to have signed with the company in late September. ** Clinton Sparks welcomed Lio Rush onto his Twitch channel. ![]() If any of the quotes from the following podcasts or video interviews are used, please credit those sources and provide an H/T and link back to POST Wrestling for the transcriptions.
