The Allure of AEW
Rush’s decision to stay with AEW was not without its challenges. Reports suggest that he was offered “ins*ne money” to remain with Tony Khan’s promotion.
This lucrative offer was a significant factor in WWE’s decision not to make an official offer for the former ROH World Champion.
Multiple sources have confirmed that WWE had shown interest in bringing Rush into NXT. However, they realized they would have to offer him a deal larger than anyone else on the brand, except Gable Stevenson, due to the money he’d be offered to stay with AEW.

Despite the tempting offers and interest from other promotions, Rush has remained loyal to AEW. Currently, he is “100% AEW,” and it seems there could be a spot for him on Saturday nights as he embarks on this new chapter in his wrestling journey.
This move could potentially be a game-changer for both Rush and AEW Collision.
