Rush set for in-ring action on AEW Dynamite
After his pull-apart brawl with former AEW World Champion MJF on this past Wednesday’s edition of Dynamite, Rush has been announced for in-ring action on this Wednesday’s episode.
His opponent has yet to be named.
The Mexican star recently returned from a long absence and has gone on a three-match winning streak since returning in April. He recently called out MJF during a backstage promo and then came out to interrupt a promo this past Wednesday. The two traded verbal jabs before trading physical ones as security and other officials had to separate them after several minutes.
Their eventual bout will be the first-ever between them and also likely MJF’s first since returning from his own lengthy absence due to injury.
The addition joins a slowly-developing card for Des Moines, Iowa, as the road to this month’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view continues:
- AEW International Champion Will Ospreay defends against Rey Fenix
- TBS Champion Mercedes Mone defends against Zeuxis
- Chris Jericho’s TV Time with guests Private Party
- Rush in action
