"Who's the best wrestler in the world?" - Lio Rush comments on AEW goals and 'The Forbidden Door'

Lio Rush outlined his goal for wrestling in 2022, the AEW star has one focus: being considered the best wrestler in the world.

Rush debuted in AEW during the Casino Battle Royale at the "Double or Nothing" pay-per-view in May 2021. However, he announced his retirement from wrestling shortly after the event due to mounting injuries and to spend more time with his family.

Towards the late stages of 2021, Lio Rush came out of retirement and was signed to an AEW contract. Now with the love of professional wrestling running through his veins once again, he has purpose.

In an interview with Denise Salcedo for "Instinct Culture," Rush outlined his goal to be in the conversation of the best wrestler in the world. He also said that he'd like to use "The Forbidden Door" to compete against the best from other promotions to prove himself.

"I want to wrestle every week, I want to wrestle every single person, I want to test myself, I want to test them," said Lio Rush. "That forbidden door comes into play, you start to make these dream match ups and you start to talk about “who’s the best wrestler in the world?” and that’s the conversation that I want to be a part of."

The AEW star has already accepted bookings for promotions like NJPW and GCW in 2022 to further state his claim as the best wrestler in the world. Fans will be looking forward to seeing how much the young man can grow.
