Following the WWE Superstar Shake-Up, the Raw roster is loaded with talent, but it sounds like one Raw star may be dealing with some issues backstage.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is internal heat on Lio Rush at the moment.
Lio Rush didn’t appear on Raw this week, and neither did Bobby Lashley. Bobby did however work a dark match after the show.
Rush is said to be a very confident man, and even though you have to be a star to make it in wrestling, his confidence has apparently rubbed some people the wrong way.
He has reportedly made it very clear that he believes he should be a top star on Raw, and he hasn’t been shy about saying it.
Lio Rush seemingly commented on rumors regarding his status when he posted the following on Twitter:
“The fact of the matter is no matter what you do you do in life, no matter what route you take, you’ll always have people out there that’ll try to tear you down. Tell you that you can’t be or do something. Try to stomp on your name and hault your success. The fact of the matter is that I love what I do and have been in love with the dreams of being in the current position that I’m in now since I was 5 years old. The fact of the matter is that I am a young, hungry, and humble husband and father of two boys who believes in himself more than anybody will ever believe in me. The fact of the matter is that I am a passionate African American male in America who takes my passion seriously and will do whatever it takes to change me and my family’s situation.”
