Truly, Rush's potential as a wrestler on the Independent Circuit did not come as one would have expected, because his appearances were losing efforts. Rush's abilities drove him to progress from an underdog to a deceitful hotshot on 205 Live.
After a string of snappy triumphs, Rush followed up by overcoming previous Cruiserweight Champion, Akira Tozawa twice. A month in the wake of besting Tozawa, Rush abruptly moved to oversee Bobby Lashley on Raw.
