10 Huge Signings WWE Must Make In 2022

10. RUSH

RUSH has been on WWE's radar as recently as last year.

As reported by WrestlingINC.'s Raj Giri last January, WWE passed on signing the then-Ring Of Honor World Champion at the time because - for a company that's Chief Executive Officer is worth $2.1 billion - his asking price was too high.

Seriously.

Given the current situation with ROH at the moment, WWE must look at snapping RUSH up again, irrelevant of the price that they can afford, but are choosing not to. He's an untouchable striker that was as hated in the Mexican organisation Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as MJF is currently in All Elite Wrestling. WWE is lacking not only in this sort of heat-stealing heel, but in superlative wrestlers. RUSH could accommodate for both; you need only watch him execute his signature Bull's Horns corner dropkick to get a grasp of his New Japan-esque striking.

WWE's treatment of Hispanic wrestlers over the years hasn't been up to scratch, to say the least, but RUSH is the prime opportunity to begin changing that stance. He won't be their next Rey Mysterio, but he does bring that eclectic style of energy and charisma that WWE so desperately needs to inject some life back into the product.
