After a tumultuous few years, Lio Rush is enjoying a strong run in NJPW, with Rush winning the 2022 Super Jr. Tag League and putting on many well received performances as part of a run in CHAOS.

As part of New Japan’s working relationship with IMPACT Wrestling, Rush stepped into an IMPACT ring in March as part of IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United: Only The STRONG Survive, and during a conversation with MuscleManMalcolm, Rush admitted that he’d like to return to IMPACT at some point:

“IMPACT was incredible. I think that was a huge milestone for me in my career," said Rush. "I’ve been to a lot of different promotions, a lot of independent promotions, a lot of different television promotions and I’ve done it all at a fairly young age. I’m proud of that, and IMPACT is another one of those places where I grew up watching and idolising the wrestlers who were in the X-Division and the product was so exciting to watch. I was a huge fan of the video game. I played the video game back in the day. Wrestling for IMPACT nonetheless was incredible, it was a feel-good moment, and it was cool that I was able to wrestle against a legend in KUSHIDA. I feel like it was a match made in heaven and it was supposed to happen, I’d love to show face in IMPACT in the future, hopefully, that happens. Yeah, a lot going on right now, and like I said, you never know. If that opportunity came, I'd be ready to make my own impact.”
