7 Ups & 2 Downs From ROH Death Before Dishonor 2022

Ups...

7. Brothers Deliver

F*cking hell, this was a statement from Rush and Dragon Lee.

They kicked off their brotherly battle with some chain wrestling and a healthy amount of respect, but things broke down once Rush started to show more aggression. Lee met him halfway by lawn-darting his bro through a table at ringside, and then things got even better from there.

Fans were hooked by the time Rush hit a belly-to-belly off the ring apron that legitimately looked like it knocked Dragon out cold. Perhaps the only criticism, and it's a mild one, is that both could've sold some of the bigger bumps a little longer. That's a general gripe with modern wrasslin' more than anything though.

There's no way Tony Khan watched this and wasn't impressed by what he was seeing. AEW's roster is obviously stacked, but Lee deserves a look in soon. Rush didn't do his own chances of succeeding alongside Andrade El Idolo any harm either.
