A newly formed team in AEW has seemingly found a new name for themselves. The duo first came together late last year.
Lio Rush and Action Andretti are two of the most exciting prospects in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Lio is known for his incredible speed in the ring while Andretti gained a lot of traction after he beat Chris Jericho on his AEW debut. The two men realized they were destined to form a tag team during the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royale when they teamed up to eliminate Top Flight.
The duo successfully defeated Top Flight at Collision: Winter is Coming 2024 thereby earning themselves a tag title shot. However, the newly formed team failed to capture the tag titles from then-champions Private Party. On the January 18th episode of Collision, Rush and Andretti attacked Top Flight and turned heel in the process.
Recently, AEW posted a video of Lio Rush and Action Andretti in which they were trying to figure out their tag team name. After they seemingly spent the whole day arguing with each other, someone in the background called them "True Crew". Upon hearing this, Rush and Andretti looked at each other seemingly indicating they had found their new name.
AEW star Darius Martin fired a shot at Lio Rush
Top Flight, Action Andretti, and Lio Rush worked together as a faction briefly last year. However, Rush and Andretti turned heel and attacked their former stablemates leading to a feud. However, Rush has not been seen on AEW TV since the first week of January, prompting Darius Martin to take a shot at him.
Lio posted on social media that he was blessed to be able to live out his childhood dream but is upset he has to look at Top Flight every week. Darius responded by saying that the former WWE star hadn't shown up in a couple of weeks and mocked him, saying he thought he might've retired again.
This was in reference to Lio Rush announcing his retirement from pro wrestling in 2021 before making his return to the ring.
"Every week? You ain’t shown up in at least 3. I was worried you retired again," he wrote.

It will be interesting to see if Action Andretti and Lio Rush find some success as a tag team.
