7 Rookies WWE Hopes Can Evoke Former Stars
5. Lio Rush (Rey Mysterio)
There's more to this than the fact that Rey Mysterio and Lio Rush - at 5'6" a piece - are both small enough to be tossed around the ring like a javelin by Braun Strowman.
It's also about the obvious attributes they share in terms of ring-style: both men shift around the ring at lightning quick speed, making use of the elements and their ability to fly through the air to help bring their opponents down to size.
Lio Rush has only been on the NXT payroll a couple of months, but there aren't many wrestlers who - at the age of just 22 - get plucked from the indie scene for a spot on WWE TV. There are - there must be - big plans for this guy, and he could have a hell of a career ahead of him.
