On Behalf of myself and the WWE Goodluck!" "To my fans who may have seen this as inappropriate as well as Emma's fans, I apologize and I love you ALL regardless of the responses. "Whatever the situation may be regarding the release, You're an amazing performer and respected athlete by yours truly and I'm sure you will excel beyond. "As a family man with a 4 year son and expecting another, I would never laugh or mock the fact of someone loosing there job because of how it can affect self person and there families. It saddens me that the 'controversial tweet' got completely blown out of proportion and looked at in a very insensitive way. "With that being said, Emma I respect you and everything you've done for our business. Rush later posted an 'apology', in which he said: "At the end of the day, there's a certain level of respect within professional wrestlers in the sports & ENTERTAINMENT industry that is noted within peers. Didn’t you just get here? Professionalism goes a long way." Wyatt responded "You aint gonna make it here with the wolves, kid" after Royce said: "Wow, kid. Any role that’s been asked of him, Rush has knocked it out of the park.But Rush, who joined WWE's NXT brand in August, tweeted: "I guess these are the things that happen when you're not TRULY ready for 22-year-old deleted the tasteless tweet after a barrage of criticism from fellow performers, including Raw's Bray Wyatt and NXT's Peyton Royce. Though he’s only 24, he’s been wrestling since 2014 and dazzled outside WWE before hitting the main roster after quickly shining in NXT and on 205 Live. That leads me to another important point relating to Rush: This man knows his worth. He’s stated that he has to face great odds as a smaller wrestler and as a Black wrestler, so he’s one of the last people in WWE who is willing to take anything he doesn’t like. Should Rush have treated Balor rudely? No, but we have to understand that Rush has a chip on his shoulder. Vince, for all his faults, has shown he can handle one-on-one disputes with strong-willed people like Rush. If Vince McMahon has a problem with Lio Rush bringing his wife to rehearsals, then Vince McMahon will let him know and the two can work it out as adults. Is this really worth disliking somebody? If his wife isn’t causing any problems – because this clearly isn’t an Enzo Amore situation where the dude is bringing a bunch of random people for Snapchat’s sake – then this is a classic case of people within wrestling blowing something out of proportion.įurthermore, while I’m sure Finn Balor only meant to be helpful and didn’t want Rush, someone who he was working with in a feud for months, to get in trouble with Vince McMahon, not everyone needs advice. Most wrestlers just have to deal with it and don’t bring their significant others to an area that’s for wrestlers only, but Rush isn’t one for tradition. WWE Superstars travel the road year-round and don’t get to see their loved ones often. We should reiterate, it doesn’t appear there has been any heat on her, at least that has been relayed to us.” Rush had told members of the WWE roster last year that he hoped to land a reality show with his wife. We were told of a separate incident in which caused management to get involved, as well. Word got around the locker room pretty quickly. Balor allegedly let Rush know that it’s quite likely that Vince McMahon wouldn’t take kindly to his wife sitting in on rehearsals, and Rush responded unfavorably. “One apparently involves former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor, who was making an effort to give Rush advice months ago. Plus, Rush, in his own words, felt horrible about the tweet and tried to apologize directly to Dashwood.ĭespite making shining on the main roster as Bobby Lashley’s manager and a breath-taking in-ring competitor in his own right, Rush isn’t immune to receiving backstage heat in the Monday Night Raw locker room either.į’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that the roster doesn’t want Rush in the locker room anymore, and “some” of those issues have arisen from Rush’s desire to have his wife with him backstage: WWE Superstars have tweeted worse things without being punished, but Rush, as an NXT prospect, was an easy target. Should it have cost Rush months of his career before he finally debuted on NXT and eventually made a name for himself on 205 Live? Hell no. ![]() Because Emma lost to Asuka on the latter’s main roster debut, Rush tweeted that Emma just wasn’t ready for Asuka. It took Lio Rush some time before his career at WWE hit the ground running, simply because backstage officials overreacted to a lame joke about Tenille Dashwood (Emma’s) release. ![]() By Kevin Parvizi 4 years ago Lio Rush is one of WWE’s most talented superstars inside the ring and on the microphone, but he’s reportedly ruffled some feathers backstage for the second time in his career.
