Breaking: MD Native Lio Rush on AEW Dynamite
AEW Dynamite was live tonight from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Maryland native Lio Rush made an appearance in the AEW World Championship #1 Contender’s Forbidden Door Gauntlet Match. Rush was the seventh participant to enter the match. Entrants (in order of appearance) were: PAC, Jay White, Mistico, Will Ospreay, Shota Umino, Claudio Castagnoli, Lio Rush, Orange Cassidy, and Hechichero.
Here’s what Cageside Seats said about Lio Rush’s appearance:
Rush squares up with Claudio, ducking kicks, landing an enzuigiri, passing him to the apron, handspring kick knocks him down but Umino scoops him up! Lio rolls though, enzuigiri, fired up, off the ropes, Shota drops him with an elbow! Criss-cross, duck a lariat, duck a lariat, stereo lariats, fired up but Castagnoli drops them both with lariats of his own!
Will Ospreay pinned Orange Cassidy to become #1 contender.
