Predicting Where EVERY Released WWE Star Will Sign Next

7. Lio Rush

Though he's had his troubles in WWE, Lio Rush has a lot to bring to the table. He was excellent as Bobby Lashley's manager and it's a shame that the promotion wasn't able to milk that for longer. Where Rush really shines, however, is between the ropes, with his brief Cruiserweight Title run a major highlight of NXT television in 2019, particularly whenever he locked horns with Angel Garza.

Still only 25 years old, Rush is going places. AEW would be nuts not to make a play for him when possible.

Destination: AEW.
