Lio Rush Announces Recent Sickness, Taking Time Away From Wrestling

Lio Rush has recently took to social media to reveal that he’s been dealing with a sickness of some sort that is forcing him to take some time away from wrestling.

In an Instagram post over the weekend, Rush revealed that he got “really sick” two weeks ago, and that it changed the path that he was on. As a result, Rush said he isn’t “entirely sure how to handle it” other than to spend time with his family. Rush went on to say that the only thing that he can next is continue to heal and hope that time away from wrestling does that.

Rush last wrestled for New Japan Pro-Wrestling earlier this month, in a match at NJPW Road to Destruction. A week later, NJPW announced that Rush and a handful of other superstars would be unable to attend future events due to illness.

Currently, it’s unknown what exactly happened to Rush, but the superstar did say that on November 11, 2023 (his birthday), he will be releasing a new album titled No Time to Heal that will tell his story.
