Lio Rush's WWE departure and post-WWE career

After being written off WWE TV for a while, Lio Rush made his return to the company as part of the NXT brand. Rush immediately won the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship, before eventually losing the belt to Angel Garza. Rush's title reign lasted 63 days and it was the only belt he held in WWE.

In April, Lio Rush was released by WWE as part of the COVID-19 pandemic budget cut. Shortly afterwards, Rush would go on to compete for Game Changer Wrestling, where he attacked former rival, Joey Janela.

The upcoming Super J-Cup, which begins from December 12th, will be Rush's first venture under the NJPW banner. It remains to be seen whether he will be a regular for the promotion or not.

In recent times, a handful of former WWE Superstars have competed for NJPW STRONG and Lio Rush could work for the Japanese promotion on American soil.
