Lio Rush has been an incendiary figure in WWE over recent years. Search his name on Google, and you're likely to find countless stories about "backstage heat" with others. Recently, lil' Lio was in the news for complaining that he was omitted from WWE's Cruiserweight Title tournament.

Now, he has something else to be unhappy about, and it sucks.

Beyond all the rumours he didn't always see eye-to-eye with management, Rush was always a talented worker in WWE. He did an admirable job as hype man for Bobby Lashley, and occasionally dazzled upon his return to the ring on NXT late-last year.
