Despite maybe not always having the greatest of times during this WWE tenure, Lio Rush definitely had some standout, memorable moments.

From asking Lio about the time of his career where he had the most fun, he quickly cited his time alongside Bobby Lashley as being the most enjoyable time he had under a WWE contract. But in his career in general, Rush talked about a special period in his life after he had departed Ring of Honor in March 2017.

Discussing that time, Lio proclaimed, "My time on the indies, I feel like my most fun was when I left Ring of Honor. Then I think I had a good six months where I was travelling all over the world. I was coming off of Ring of Honor television, and my name was kinda hot at the time. I was able to go travel to some really cool places. I was on tour in England, Germany, Mexico, Canada. I was just all over the place, and it was really fun. That was during a time period where I'd just got booked for some pretty cool independent promotions on the West Coast, like PWG. It was just fun. Yeah, that time period was just a lot of fun for me."
