LFI leader Rush was injured during his match during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
Rush, Dralistico and The Beast Mortos were challenging AEW Trios Champions The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata) when Rush was getting back into the ring for the final sequence of the match.
However, he stumbled after his kneepad got caught on the bottom rope, hitting his elbow on the mat as he fell. According to our Bryan Alvarez, the former ROH World Champion dislocated his elbow when he did that.
He immediately was grabbing his left arm, holding it as he rolled outside. Shibata rolled outside with him and basically held onto him as opposed to a brawl. Alvarez said Rush popped the elbow back into place and he then took part in the post-match beatdown angle between Joe and AEW World Champion Hangman Page.
As of this point, Rush is scheduled to wrestle in Mexico Thursday in a match that also includes LA Park and his sons.
