In the ring, Lio Rush is “The Man of the Hour” and his highlight’s only getting brighter with even more accolades to come.
“Masterfully organic is how I would describe it,” Rush informed BOSSIP of his evolution from wrestling prodigy to music artist and TV persona. “I started from the very bottom and I’ve had many ups and downs. My determination and consistency has gotten me through rough times. With those setbacks, I’ve been able to learn and grow and achieve more.”
That trajectory from high college All-American wrestler to Cruiserweight Champion was a pivotal second for the wrestler who has a motto of “go hard or go home.”
“That moment meant everything to me,” he stated of the 2019 title win. “It was my own ultimate seal of approval and gratification. I was extremely proud of myself because as a kid I said that I wanted a moment like this… and I was able to achieve that goal by grit, hard work, and perseverance.”
The self-discipline and drive that propelled Rush in NXT and now AEW, have seamlessly translated into exterior endeavors.
As a recording artist, Rush channels his kinetic power into susceptible tracks, most lately with his project Feel Like A Giant. From turn-up tracks to soul-searching data, the five-track EP is supposed to encourage a sense of triumph, with Rush aiming to make followers really feel like they’re stepping into the ring carrying a title belt of their own.
“What inspired the project was me being proud of what I have accomplished and owning it,” he defined. “To step into this new chapter in my life.”
As for what’s next in 2025, Rush is holding his choices open and his ambitions high telling BOSSIP he’s prepared to do “absolutely anything” he units his thoughts to.
