Former AEW star Lio Rush talks about coming back to All Elite Wrestling
Former AEW and WWE Superstar Lio Rush has hinted at a possible return to the Tony Khan-led promotion during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight. Rush, who had a brief stint in the Jacksonvile-based promotion, expressed his openness to the idea of coming back to the company.
When asked about the possibility of returning to the Tony Khan-led promotion and continuing his partnership with Dante Martin of Top Flight, Rush responded positively.
"I think so [on the door being left open]. Yeah, it was pretty quick [his run]. I think anything is possible if you have the right intentions – one thing that I’ve learned out here in LA, people do business with people they like. You can have the most talent in the world, but if your attitude is poor things aren’t gonna work out the way that you want them to." (41:10 onward)
