We noted before how
WWE NXT newcomer
Lio Rush picked up some heat online after he tweeted on Emma's
WWE departure after the company announced her release on Sunday, along with the releases of
Summer Rae and Darren Young.
In a now-deleted tweet that referenced Emma's back-to-back losses to new RAW Superstar
Asukajust days before, Rush wrote: "I guess these are the things that happen when you're not TRULY ready for
@WWEAsuka"
Rush received strong tweets from Bray Wyatt, Jack Gallagher, Peyton Royce,
Dash Wilder and others in response. NXT General Manager
William Regal wrote a tweet somewhat defending Rush. Dash deleted his tweet but he wrote, "So busy trying to be a comedian, you forget you're a dumbass." Rush later posted an apology to Twitter but the damage had been done. You can see his original tweet below along with the apology and some of the comments from his co-workers.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the heat on Rush was so bad that there was almost immediate talk of the former
ROH star being fired from the company. It was also noted that Rush is going to have to put in work to get the heat off of him. It was speculated that Rush would have been released if it weren't for the apology coming soon after the original tweet, based on what sources were saying about the situation.
and that's why he's really bashing him....he stood up from a table spot at some indie show .
