Lio Rush made headlines several months ago and not in a great way. After Emma was released from WWE, Rush Tweeted: “I guess these are the things that happen when you’re not TRULY ready for @WWEAsuka”.

This led to some major backlash from fans and also WWE stars. This included Bray Wyatt, who fired back at Rush for the comment.
Lio was recently interviewed by ESPN where he spoke about the situation. Here is what he said:
“It was definitely a difficult situation. I’ve worked so hard and spent years trying to brand myself and to show the world that Lio Rush is a top prospect in the professional wrestling world. So it was a bit rough to see so many people turn on me for that, but I’ve owned up to my mistakes.
“I have said my apologies. What else can you do? You live, you make mistakes and you learn. I know a big thing that I tweeted out shortly after that — ‘a mistake shouldn’t be your attacker, it should be your teacher.’ I’ve definitely learned from that situation. I definitely have not let that situation change the pacing of me succeeding in anything.”
