Tony Khan announces official signing of Rush
Khan took to Twitter to confirm that Rush is now All Elite. He also revealed that Rush will square off against John Silver on tonight’s September 30 edition of Rampage.
He wrote the following:
“It’s official: @rushtoroblanco is All Elite!
What a week for Rush!
Yesterday was his birthday, today he’s All Elite, and it’s Rush vs @SilverNumber1
TONIGHT on Friday Night #AEWRampage!”
Rush first appeared for AEW at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in May, in a segment alongside Andrade El Idolo. Since making his AEW debut, the Mexican star has shared the ring with a number of the promotion’s top stars, notably challenging for the interim AEW World Title at Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen in July.
Rush could be eyeing to reclaim the title he has won in the past- ROH World Championship. With Chris Jericho recently vowing to defeat every former ROH World Champion, Rush could face him. The Mexican star has held ROH’s top title twice, with his most recent reign coming to an end at the hands of Bandido in 2021 after 498 days with the gold.
