Lio Rush made an appearance at tonight’s NJPW Capital Collision event.

Prior to the semi main event, Rush appeared and came to the ring for a promo. He said that he was not cleared to compete yet, but when he does return, the landscape of the entire junior heavyweight division would change. He listed some names, including Robbie Eagles, Taiji Ishimori, and Hiromu Takahashi as future potential opponents.

After his promo, he went to the announcers booth and did commentary for the rest of the show.

Rush has been out of action since January 30 of this year, when he suffered a shoulder injury in the second round of PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles tournament in a match against Buddy Matthews. He later revealed on Twitter that he had suffered a dislocated shoulder.

Since being released by WWE in 2020, Rush has made appearances on the independent scene and New Japan Strong, where he has been a regular. He also signed with AEW briefly before his contract ran out in February.
