Lio Rush made his AEW debut as the mystery “joker” entrant during tonight’s Double or Nothing PPV.

Rush entered to a pretty good pop and hit a flurry of offense on Private Party and Matt Hardy, then was about to eliminate both members of Private Party, but Matt Hardy tossed Rush out from behind.

It’s not clear if Rush has signed with AEW at this point.

Since being released by WWE in April 2020, Rush has mostly wrestled for NJPW Strong, GCW and MLW.
