AEW’s Rush says he’s ready to return from injury
Rush says he’s ready to return.
The 35-year-old hasn’t wrestled since suffering a torn hamstring during the Continental Classic in December. His last match took place on December 30 at the Worlds End pay-per-view.
Rush took to social media over the weekend to announce he’s ready to get back in the ring.
“EL TORO BLANCO IS READY TO RETURN,” he wrote on X.

Rush worked most of the Continental Classic with the torn hamstring. He suffered the injury during his second round-robin match in the tournament, a win over Mark Briscoe.
“In the #AEWContinentalClassic I tore my hamstring in the second match I had,” Rush wrote shortly after the tournament’s conclusion. “I will recover and return ready and hungrier than ever for a fight.”
Rush went 2-3 in the tournament with wins over Briscoe and Jay Lethal and losses to Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, and Jay White. He finished fourth in the Gold League.
