In The Ideal Scenario, Lio Rush Would’ve Liked To Wrestle Dante Martin At Forbidden Door 2

Lio Rush discusses the upcoming pay-per-view Forbidden Door.

On Sunday, June 25, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling will put on the second installment of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view. The 2022 version of the performance was a critical and commercial victory for both promotions.

Lio Rush, who has become a prominent name in NJPW, was sidelined with an injury around the time of the first Forbidden Door event. Rush was asked who he’d like to wrestle at Forbidden Door 2 in a new interview with MuscleManMalcolm, and he pointed out that in a perfect world, it would have been amazing to wrestle Dante Martin, who he was in a storyline with before leaving AEW.

“That’s a heavy question because there’s so many guys that are currently on the roster that I wanted to wrestle, but never have and was so close to wrestling. Yeah, that’s incredibly hard. I feel like me being a part of that event in itself would be pretty cool, so, who knows. Anybody, anybody really. There’s a ton of guys on that roster that I’d love to wrestle. In a perfect world, it would have been cool to wrestle Dante [Martin] but I know he just had that injury. Praying for him, huge prayers and respect to Dante, I saw that injury and it’s pretty nasty.”
