There are certain WWE rituals that have to be followed in the backstage area that are a lesson in humility. As originally reported by PWInsider, Rush refused to do a few of these tasks.

Here is the summary of the incident:

On the November 2018 European tour, where, as the junior member of the tour, he blew off what has long been considered standard backstage etiquette for the junior member of the roster on overseas tours - including being at the gorilla position after matches to provide water to talents as they returned from the ring, as well as carrying coolers and drinks into the hotels where the roster was staying in order to set up a common area where everyone could socialise privately together.

Lio Rush explained his whole stance for refusing to do these menial tasks through a recent Twitter post that he put out:

I believe we are all able to carry our own gear and provisions. I treat others as equals and as a young black male have often had to fight for my own equality. https://t.co/lwdySHrGl6
