NXT's Lio Rush Rumoured To Be Joining 205 LIVE As A Competitor In The Cruiserweight Championship Tournament
Despite officially signing with NXT several months ago, Lio Rush has had a very limited presence on TV. However, the talented star may get a chance to shine in the 205 Live Cruiserweight Championship chase...
Lio Rush found himself in hot water recently when he Tweeted "this is what happens when you're not ready for Asuka" in relation to Emma being released from WWE shortly after her matches with The Empress of Tomorrow.
This is why many believe he hasn't really been utilised on NXT since, and it may also explain why there are now rumours of Rush moving over to 205 Live. According to Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com, Lio is being lined up as a secret competitor for the cruiserweight title tournament that's currently underway.
We don't have any official word on this, but if it is on the level, at least Rush will get the chance to shine now that 205 Live seems to have turned a corner and is actually allowing the cruiserweight division to, y'know, have exciting and competitive matches.
