Speculation On Lio Rush Departing From WWE NXT

There’s been speculation on WWE NXT Superstar Lio Rush being gone from the company but PWInsider reports that he’s still under contract as of this morning. Fans started speculating on his status after he apparently removed all WWE references from his Twitter account some time this week and changed his location from Orlando back to Washington, DC.

Rush has been out of the ring since late October after the tweet he made poking fun at Emma’s WWE release. Rush received Twitter heat from various WWE talents and it was noted that there was immediate talk of firing Rush but his quick apology posted to Twitter saved him. It was also noted that Rush would have to put in serious work before the heat was off him.

Rush has made a few tweets in the past few days that are fueling the speculation on his status. One tweet simply says “REFLECTION” and the other is the hourglass emoji. It should be noted that he often tweets references to time and clocks so the hourglass may not be anything cryptic. You can see some of his recent tweets below:

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the injury Drew McIntyre suffered at TakeOver is as serious as believed and the former NXT Champion will be out of action for months.

Sources tell The Sheet that Drew’s test results showed he tore his bicep — we’re told it happened during a mistimed move near the end of the match — and he’s hoping to return in time for WrestleMania weekend.

As we previously reported, McIntyre was injured while wrestling Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas.

Drew tweeted this morning saying, “Unfortunately I did suffer an injury during my title defense at TakeOver. I’ve dealt with setbacks before. The reality is, I always come back better…There’s a scary thought for whomever is NXT champion come 2018… .”

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the injury Drew McIntyre suffered during his match at NXT TakeOver is legit, but he won’t know how serious it is until Monday.

For those who missed it, McIntyre lost the NXT Championship to Andrade ‘Cien‘ Almas on Saturday night and was clutching his left arm near the end of the match — but it’s unclear what caused the injury to occur.

During Triple H’s livestream after the show, the WWE exec said Drew would be getting an MRI tomorrow for what appears to be a torn bicep.

McIntyre was also interviewed backstage and said from experience he can tell the injury isn’t good.
