Lio Rush Reflects On His NJPW Debut, This Week’s Before The Impact

Lio Rush made his debut for NJPW at Wrestle Kingdom 17 earlier this year, and he recently reflected on the experience in an interview with MuscleManMalcolm. Rush said,

“Again, literally loss for words. It doesn’t hit you until you watch it back a few times, but for me, I wanted to be a part of New Japan before I got signed to WWE. That was always an interest of mine, watching the guys who would wrestle over there and watching the Wrestle Kingdom pay-per-views every year and being excited to see what happens. It became the ultimate dream of mine, so for me to have been involved in a tournament that qualified me to go to Wrestle Kingdom, it was so surreal.”

“Yeah, it was a huge moment that I’m proud of, a huge moment that I’ll never forget. I’ll definitely never forget it because I got split open pretty bad, I got some good scars on my face. Absolutely incredible, like I said, a moment that I’ll never forget.”
