Surprise debuts in professional wrestling are always fun, and Lio Rush made his debut with AEW at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2021. However, Lio Rush’s run with All Elite Wrestling didn’t last long as his contract expired earlier this year in February.
During a recent appearance on the Say Less podcast, the former AEW star opened up about his time working for the company, and he noted that he doesn’t think they knew what to do with him.
“Of course not. When I say things, I don’t wanna sound like it was breaking news because I feel like these things are so blatantly obvious. It’s like, yanno, he made it pretty clear to me, verbally, that when he was a fan of me, it was when I was in WWE and I was doing the manager stuff with Bobby [Lashley].
If that’s how he saw me, that’s the only light he sees me in… [then] that’s [probably what] he’s gonna shift me to be in that kind of role. Which I’m not, yanno… I’m so grateful for that time period [in WWE] because it taught me how to talk, it taught me how to present myself and build others up. No, I don’t think that [they] exactly knew what to do with me. That’s always a frustrating thing, but like you said when [I] say stuff it just gets f*cking blown up.”
