In one of the more confusing moments of ROH Final Battle, A.R. Fox and Blake Christian got a shock win over La Faccion Ingobernable when the ref counted a pinfall on Dralistico after a Fox 450, even though it appeared that Dralistico got the shoulder up. Consider the booking of LFI and more importantly LFI figurehead RUSH in ROH this seemed like a botch, compounded by Fox’s reaction to the win with many assuming this match a simple lay-up for LFI.
Post-match, LFI attacked their opponents and the ref, swung chairs, and caused mayhem, presumably to get their heat back, and a tweet from Jose the Assistant suggests that RUSH has been fined and suspended for his actions:
"RUSH 'assaulted' a Referee. We got fined $$ for using chairs. We've been SUSPENDED for a week by #AEW. Preston didn’t get too involved and isn't suspended. You can't fool the fans, they know the match ending was BULLS*** #ROHFinalBattle #LaFaccionIngobernable."
It’s unclear if this is a real suspension or a kayfabe one, and it is unknown if Dralistico has received any punishment for his role in the post-match shenanigans due to Final Battle being his ROH debut, and having never before appeared for AEW.
