The duo were wrestling on the tournament's second night, contesting a second-round clash after defeating Jack Carthweel (Rush) and JONAH (Matthews) the night before. Lio technically won via disqualification, as Matthews continued beating him down after hitting a curb stomp, doing so while the referee checked on the 27-year-old.

On Twitter, @LordAkiyama stated that Rush was likely hurt by the curb stomp itself:-

Lio was tended to after the match. Later on, Matthews came out to take the injured Rush's spot in the tournament semi-finals, telling the live crowd that his second-round opponent had been taken to ER (per the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online).

Later, Rush tweeted that while he wasn't good, he'll be back:-

There is currently no word on the severity or exact nature of Lio's injury. Best wishes to him in his recovery nonetheless.

The 27-year-old is on the verge of becoming a free agent, as his contract with All Elite Wrestling is due to expire on 14 February. On top of wrestling, Rush recently hit Twitter to confirm that he has signed a recording contract with Universal Music Group.
