10 WWE Superstars to watch in 2020

#8 Lio Rush

Lio Rush has weathered a social media firestorm and emerged on the other side as a champion.

Professional Wrestling, or sports entertainment if you prefer, is not an easy industry to be in, especially if you're an in ring performer.

Not only is the road schedule brutal and demanding, but it can be difficult to get along with your peers, particularly if you're young and inexperienced.

Lio Rush is one performer who has undergone a lot of upheaval in his short WWE tenure. The former indie scene and Ring of Honor standout raised a lot of eyebrows when he was signed by WWE. But shortly into his tenure, Rush fired off an ill advised tweet concerning the former Emma (Tenille Dashwood) leaving the WWE.

Lio Rush probably should have thought twice before sending this tweet.

Rush was lambasted for his lack of sensitivity and professionalism, by everyone from the fans to his fellow Superstars.

He disappeared from WWE television for a while, but then popped up in a managerial role. Then, when the Cruiserweights switched from 205 Live to NXT, he was brought in and now reigns as champion.

Rush has paid for his sins and now looks primed to become not just the Man of the Hour, but the Man of the Year 2020.
