Lio Rush announced for February Terminus event
A day after he made news with his AEW contract status, Lio Rush was announced for the second Terminus event, set for February 24th in Atlanta, Georgia.
Rush tweeted Saturday that as of February 14th, his AEW contract will expire and he will become a free agent just six months after the company got him to return after an announced retirement.
The new promotion, co-founded by reigning Ring of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham and Baron Black, had its first event last weekend featuring Gresham, Bandido, Josh Alexander, Black and others.
They have already begun loading up for their second pay-per-view, announcing former WWE NXT North American Champion Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and a main event of Gresham defending the ROH title against AEW tag team standout Santana.
Rush returns to the ring Sunday night at The Wrld on GCW as part of a ladder match featuring PCO, Tony Deppen, Jordan Oliver, Jimmy Lloyd and Alex Colon. He also remains part of the New Japan Strong roster.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
