"I didn't feel like that with Tony," continued Rush, "I felt super connected with him and felt like he was relatable. I felt like he cared about the same things that the boys in the back care about. He felt hungry, driven, and passionate. I liked his energy, and I'm all about energy. I just knew it was right." H/t Fightful

Lio Rush was released from the WWE in April 2020, and he eventually signed a full-time deal with AEW on September 29th, 2021, after wrestling sporadically on the independent circuit for more than a year.
