Rush Debuts in AEW as Andrade’s “New Business Partner”

Rush made his AEW debut tonight at Double or Nothing, introduced as Andrade El Idolo’s “new business partner.”

In a pre-taped backstage segment, Andrade said that he hated the “AFO” since day one and called the group “losers.” He then told Jose the Assistant to open the door and let in his new business partner, “the top wrestler in the world, one of the best,” Rush.

Rush entered the room and embraced and posed with Andrade.
