Lio Rush has achieved a lot over his eight years of being a pro wrestler. Before moving to WWE NXT, where he later won the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, “The Man of the Hour” was used on WWE’s main roster as Bobby Lashley’s spokesman.
There were rumors that Rush had offended several people backstage with his attitude at the time of his move to WWE’s developmental brand.
Rush recently appeared on the “Say Less” podcast to discuss his WWE tenure, which ended with his release in 2020.
“At first, I’m just going with the flow,” Rush said. “I’m doing what I’m supposed to do and I’m excited. I’m getting opportunities handed to me, well, not handed to me; I had to work for everything that I got. But I definitely feel like I got to that position in my class, right? And when it came to a halt, when I got released from WWE, it was almost like I had to just start over, and I didn’t really know what to do. And it took me a while for me to realize, like, man, maybe I was a little too young for everything that got thrown at me. But at the same time, I don’t regret those times at all. I don’t wish that I didn’t go through these things … I feel like it prepared me for so much once I did get released.”
