Lio Rush: In A Perfect World, It Would Have Been Cool To Wrestle Dante Martin At Forbidden Door 2

Lio Rush talks the upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

On Sunday, June 25, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling will once again come together and put on the second iteration of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view. The 2022 edition of the show was a hit for both promotions in terms of both critical and commercial success.

Around the first time of the first Forbidden Door show, Lio Rush, who has become a big name in NJPW, was out with injury. In a new interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Rush was asked about who he’d want to face at Forbidden Door 2, to which he said in a perfect world, it would have been cool to wrestle Dante Martin, who he was in a storyline with before he departed AEW.

“That’s a heavy question because there’s so many guys that are currently on the roster that I wanted to wrestle, but never have and was so close to wrestling. Yeah, that’s incredibly hard. I feel like me being a part of that event in itself would be pretty cool, so, who knows. Anybody, anybody really. There’s a ton of guys on that roster that I’d love to wrestle. In a perfect world, it would have been cool to wrestle Dante [Martin] but I know he just had that injury. Praying for him, huge prayers and respect to Dante, I saw that injury and it’s pretty nasty.”
