Lio Rush has appeared in NJPW on numerous occasions in the past

Lio Rush has appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling on numerous occasions. At the Capital Collision show in May, he put NJPW's junior heavyweight division on notice.

While he hasn't competed in a New Japan ring in a while, Rush has previously teamed up with Rocky Romero, who is another member of CHAOS.

The 27-year-old returned to the ring in October after being sidelined due to a shoulder injury since the PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2022. Fans now eagerly await the in-ring return of Rush in an NJPW ring.

It also remains to be seen if he will join CHAOS or possibly team up with YOH going forward.
