Rush suffered torn hamstring during AEW Continental Classic
Rush worked through the majority of AEW’s Continental Classic tournament while dealing with an injury.
In a social media post on Thursday, Rush revealed that he suffered a torn hamstring during his second Continental Classic match. He worked three tournament matches after that and also competed in an eight-man tag bout at Worlds End.
Rush didn’t disclose the degree of his hamstring tear or state how long he’ll be out of action. He promised to recover and return hungrier than ever.
“In the #AEWContinentalClassic I tore my hamstring in the second match I had,” Rush wrote. “I will recover and return ready and hungrier than ever for a fight.”
Rush’s second match in the Continental Classic was a victory over Mark Briscoe.
Rush had a 2-3 record in the Gold League, defeating Briscoe and Jay Lethal while losing to Jay White, Jon Moxley, and Swerve Strickland.
At the Worlds End pay-per-view, Rush teamed with Lethal, White & Brody King in a loss to Briscoe, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli & Daniel Garcia.
