RUSH Parts Ways With AAA, Tonight’s AAW Show Canceled After Irving Hall Shuts Down
AEW wrestler RUSH has announced that he and his father, Bestia del Ring, have officially parted ways with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and are now “totally independent.”
RUSH and LA Park were supposed to team up at TripleMania in Tijuana against Sam Adonis and Psycho Clown next month. The wrestlers of the losing team would then face each other at the Mexico City TripleMania event in a Mask vs. Hair match.
Luchablog is reporting that although the main event of El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Kenny Omega is the real deal, the RUSH match (and the possibility of RUSH vs. Park) is the major draw in Mexico.
This doesn’t mean RUSH will be able to compete at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II. AAA talents are usually barred from working those kinds of events due to an understanding NJPW has with CMLL.
RUSH signed with AEW in September 2022.
On Facebook, Rush announced he and his father have quit AAA immediately and are back to being independents. https://t.co/BKbzoKv0Fe pic.twitter.com/817nCvqk9u

Rush was scheduled to team with LA Park against Psycho Clown & Sam Adonis in Tijuana, where the losing team would have a hair vs mask match in August.
Omega/Vikingo is a big outside of Mexico, but that tag match (and the possibility of Park/Rush) was the big ticket seller
