RUSH was sidelined at the end of August 2021 with a knee injury and ended up missing the rest of the year. He returned to the ring in April, but has only wrestled a handful of multi-man matches.
RUSH is fully recovered from his knee injury and has laid out his goals in wrestling moving forward.
“I want to wrestle in AEW,” RUSH told Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. “I want matches against CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega. Everyone in AEW will learn, when you mess with the bull, you get the horns. I feel better than ever and I want to conquer the world, especially the USA. I was away from the ring for a long time, but now it’s time to show everyone who is the No. 1 wrestler in the world.”
RUSH is a former ROH World Champion and was the leader of La Faccion Ingobernable during his time with the company. ROH is currently owned by AEW owner Tony Khan.
“Big things are going to happen,” RUSH says. “Very soon, people will learn what I’m going to do next.”
RUSH has ties to Andrade El Idolo dating back to their time as Los Ingobernables in CMLL. The duo team regularly from 2010 to 2015, though Los Ingobernables wasn't formed until 2014.
It is unknown when RUSH will return for a match in the United States.
