Rush and Dralistico both likely need surgery for their injuries
Both Rush and Dralistico look to be out of action for some time.
Bryan Alvarez is reporting that both members of LFI will likely need surgeries for their respective injuries. For Rush, Alvarez writes that he’s been working through knee injury and as a result, he’s worse off.
“We are told Rush has been working with a bad knee for years, but because he wanted opportunities on Collision and Dynamite he didn’t want to take time off,” Alvarez writes. “Working through it made it worse, and as Tony Khan noted in a media call this week, he’s off the Ring of Honor Final Battle show and almost certainly needs surgery. He will be evaluated in the next week or so and almost certainly undergo surgery. It is believed he had knee surgery previously in Mexico but it was messed up and didn’t solve the problem.”
As for Dralistico, he suffered an injury to his ear in two different matches. Like his brother, he tried to work through his injury, but eventually was unable to.
“Dralistico suffered injuries to his ear in two different matches. He also worked through it since he was hoping to get regular work on the main roster, but eventually it became too painful and he was told he’d need surgery to fix it,” Alvarez says. “He’s either already undergone surgery or will undergo surgery shortly.”
Rush was scheduled to face Bandido at Final Battle but was replaced by a Survival of the Fittest match. Additionally, it was announced on Friday that Rush would vacate the ROH Tag Team titles with Sammy Guevara, who will now team with The Beast Mortos to face Tommy Billington and Adam Priest in a match for the vacant titles at Final Battle.
