Former AEW and WWE Superstar teases return to Tony Khan’s promotion after 6 years

A former AEW star has spoken candidly about seeing himself back with their sister promotion, six years after wrestling his last match under their umbrella. That star is the ever-charismatic and high flyer, Lio Rush.

Before gaining prominence as WWE's hype man, and a brief stint in AEW, Rush built the foundations of his wrestling career in Ring of Honor in 2015. Moreover, he was on a roster filled with stars like Adam Cole, Kevin Kelly, and Jay Lethal.

During a recent interview with WrestlePurists, Lio reflected on his tenure in ROH, and stated he could see himself back as a part of the promotion.

"When I hear ‘Ring of Honor’, it always reminds me of me being such a hungry wrestler, because during that time period of 2015, 2016, that roster was insane and me coming in, being as young as I was, and being able to wrestle some of those guys, like The Young Bucks, like Adam Cole, Jay Lethal, teaming with Jay White, it was amazing… And I can see myself there. It would be pretty cool. I think it would almost be like a little fresh start, but with some history, and I think it’ll be some cool history that a lot of people really didn’t know. So, yeah, I could see myself being back in Ring of Honor," Rush said. (H/T Post Wrestling)
