What is the Lio Rush contract?

Lio Rush currently has a contract with Impact Wrestling as of November 2023. However, no financial information about his contract is available. In May 2021, Rush appeared for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, competing in the Casino Battle Royale match. Matt Hardy, assisted by the Private Party, eventually defeated Rush.

After the match, Rush announced his retirement from professional wrestling; however, he later disclosed that he had signed a contract with NJPW. Later on, Rush inked an official contract with AEW on September 29, which was scheduled to expire on January 22, 2022, after which he would become a free agent.

Lio Rush was one of the many people who felt offended by Tony Khan's response to Big Swole. Rush insisted that Tony Khan issue an apology. The issue here was Big Swole’s interview, in which she discussed her concerns about AEW and the lack of diversity after she didn’t extend her contract and parted ways with AEW. She claimed that the booking policy of AEW placed some of the company's talent on Dark and Elevation rather than Rampage and Dynamite.

Tony Khan responded by providing other examples of diversity on his roster before announcing in his final tweet that he decided not to extend Big Swole's contract because he did not think she was a good enough wrestler.
