Lio Rush: Hopefully I Get To Show Face In IMPACT Wrestling Again

Lio Rush reflects on working for IMPACT Wrestling as part of Multiverse United and hopes to return to the promotion soon. 

Lio Rush recently wrestled KUSHIDA as part of IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United, and now, he’s reflecting on that experience while speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, revealing that he hopes to end up back in the IMPACT Zone in the near future. 

“IMPACT was incredible. I think that was a huge milestone for me in my career,” said Rush. “I’ve been to a lot of different promotions, a lot of independent promotions, a lot of different television promotions and I’ve done it all at a fairly young age. I’m proud of that, and IMPACT is another one of those places where I grew up watching and idolizing the wrestlers who were in the X-Division and the product was so exciting to watch. I was a huge fan of the video game. I played the video game back in the day. Wrestling for IMPACT nonetheless was incredible, it was a feel-good moment, and it was cool that I was able to wrestle against a legend in KUSHIDA. I feel like it was a match made in heaven and it was supposed to happen, I’d love to show face in IMPACT in the future, hopefully, that happens. Yeah, a lot going on right now, and like I said, you never know. If that opportunity came, I’d be ready to make my own impact. “ 

IMPACT recently announced that they would be holding another crossover event with New Japan Pro Wrestling this year, IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United 2: For Whom the Bell Tolls. Learn more here.
