Backstage News on Lio Rush's Character in NXT & Possible Future

— Lio Rush, who only started with WWE last August, is already being brought to 205 Live as a heel. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, his character will be that of a “rich playboy type” and it doesn’t appear he will have anything to do with his NXT bodyguard Babatunde Aiyegbusi as no mention was made of him on his recently aired vignette.

— Rush has been earmarked for a quick call-up to 205 Live ever since he signed with WWE and even after ill timed comments in response to WWE releasing some wrestlers. He’s said to be a natural babyface due to his quickness, which means it’s likely that he’ll start as a heel and then eventually make a turn.
