Backstage Update on RUSH’s Knee Injury Recovery & Decision To Not Undergo Surgery

As noted before, RUSH has been out of action for AEW and Ring of Honor since this past November due to a knee injury. RUSH and Dralitsico are currently scheduled to be making their in-ring returns from injuries at this Saturday’s AEW Collision show in Tuscon, Arizona. RUSH and Dralistico will be competing in a $200,000 Four-Way Tag Team match against Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Swirl at the event.

The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported that his sources stated RUSH was sent to an NFL doctor who had told him that he could either get surgery and be out for a considerable amount of time or he could do three months of “hard rehab” and see how he felt. Alvarez reported that RUSH made the decision to opt for the “hard rehab” for his knee injury.

Alvarez reported that RUSH’s rehab went well and had told people backstage at Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in El Paso, Texas that his knee felt great.
