Lio Rush was part of WWE’s mass cuts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it seems like he has no desire to return to WWE following an interview on Ryback’s Conversations With The Big Guy podcast.
The highly talented cruiserweight took time off from WWE despite being in a good spot working as Bobby Lashley’s manager, as he reportedly had backstage heat for disrespecting veterans and publicly stating he was unhappy with his pay, saying he was struggling to cover his road expenses.
He would tell Ryback that he did get a call from Triple H, saying:
He would eventually agree to return, this time to NXT, and go onto to have a 63-day reign as Cruiserweight Champion, but it seems he was still frustrated with WWE as their latest offer was below what he expected.
Rush is no longer wrestling, but instead focusing on a music career, releasing an album titled “Ever After” earlier this month.
