5 Wrestlers that can potentially accept Lio Rush's open challenge

Lio Rush has been dominant since making his debut on 205 Live. He shines not only as Bobby Lashley's manager but as the 23-year-old Peace of Gold. He has defeated the likes of Akira Tozawa & Noam Dar since joining 205 Live and is set to host an open challenge on 205 Live. There are several wrestlers that can potentially accept this open challenge.


#5 Noam Dar

Noam Dar has been involved in a rivalry with Lio Rush.
Noam Dar has been involved in a rivalry with Lio Rush.

This is the most likely participant. Lio Rush defeated Noam Dar the last time that these two superstars faced off so it would make sense that Noam Dar would want a rematch. Especially since Lio Rush got the win because of Noam Dar's aggressiveness. While this would be a boring participant since it is pretty easy to predict that Noam Dar will accept this challenge, at least it will be a good match.

#4 Ariya Daivari

Ariya Daivari is bound to make his return soon.

Ariya Daivari has been injured for the past few months. He will likely return at some point over the next few weeks. While it isn't likely since Ariya Daivari and Lio Rush are both heels, it is easy to see an extremely aggressive Ariya Daivari going after a cocky character like Lio Rush.


#3 Sunil Singh

Jinder Mahal certainly has a reason to be angry with Lio Rush. He arguably caused Country Dominance (Bobby Lashley & Mickie James) to get a victory over his team of Mahalicia in the Mixed Match Challenge. He obviously wants to get revenge on Lio Rush. However, he is not of Cruiserweight size so he can't accept his challenge. It would make a lot of sense for Sunil Singh to accept the challenge for him since Lio Rush laid him out during the Mixed Match Challenge.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor & Bayley and Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush had an altercation.

Finn Balor seems to be set to start a feud with Bobby Lashley. Lio Rush probably thinks that his actions on Raw can't affect him on 205 Live. However, he forgot that Finn Balor is actually Cruiserweight size and can definitely accept his open challenge tonight. Not only would this be beneficial for Lio Rush but it would definitely help 205 Live if top superstars such as Finn Balor & Bobby Lashley appear on the show. This would also be a great match that could help further Lio Rush's career no matter how the match ends.

#1 Rey Mysterio

What a shock this would be!

This would certainly make 205 Live feel like a much-watch show. Rey Mysterio is the biggest Cruiserweight that WWE has signed. While he is set to make his return on SmackDown Live next week, it is definitely not impossible for him to want to have a tune-up match on 205 Live. Not only would this be a great match but it would also give Lio Rush a lot of momentum as Rey Mysterio's first opponent since his return.
