#8 Lio Rush
While he may appear to be all smiles and confidence on WWE TV, there was a time when things were very different for Lio Rush.
The former manager of Bobby Lashley admitted to being in a “bad place” during his disappearance from WWE programming in 2019 after it was reported that he’d ruffled a few feathers behind the scenes. But this wasn’t the only time in Lio’s life where he had struggled, as he explained to Sports Illustrated.
“Seven years ago, I was in a suicidal state. There was a point in time where I was hospitalized for a few days because I was in such a bad state."
“It was really hard to continue, but I made the decision that I wouldn’t give up. I decided to keep pushing forward. There was a point when I wanted to give up on my dreams, just give up on everything, I wanted to give up on life. Writing the lyrics to ‘Scenic Lullaby’ was therapeutic to me. I put my words to music so others could feel my struggle, understand why I am who I am, and feel what I feel on a daily basis. I wanted to give people something they could feel.”
Thankfully, Rush is getting himself back to winning ways and has his sights firmly set on the NXT Cruiserweight championship.
