Speaking to Darren Paltrowitz on the Paltrocast, Lio Rush was asked about his rehab process when it comes to injuries.

"Slow and steady wins the race, but I've never stopped moving. Never stopped moving. A lot of care goes into taking care of my body now. A lot of rehab, a lot of therapy, a lot of cryotherapy. I'm actually going to train in this ring and then head to cryotherapy after this. I have to keep up with my body and keep up with my nutrition. I'm very particular and strict about what I put in my body. Those two play a huge part in me being able to do what I do today," he said.

When asked about his upcoming schedule with IMPACT, Lio said he plans on making the towns.

"As of right now, that's the way it looks like," he said about appearing at the upcoming UK tour. "New York is coming up, Toronto is coming up, Philly is coming up. I would imagine, if I'm the champion, I will be there, and I imagine that I will be the champion. We'll see."

Rush will compete in a five-way match at All-Star Junior Festival. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
