Lio Rush Reflects On “Surreal” NJPW Debut At Wrestle Kingdom

Former WWE Superstar Lio Rush recently spoke with Muscle Man Malcolm.

During the interview, the “Man of the Hour” reflected on his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut at Wrestle Kingdom 2023. Check out the comments from Lio below.

On his “surreal” NJPW debut:

“It doesn’t hit you until you watch it back a few times, but for me, I wanted to be a part of New Japan before I got signed to WWE. That was always an interest of mine, watching the guys who would wrestle over there and watching the Wrestle Kingdom pay-per-views every year and being excited to see what happens. It became the ultimate dream of mine, so for me to have been involved in a tournament that qualified me to go to Wrestle Kingdom, it was so surreal.”

On why he will “never forget” the moment:

“Yeah, it was a huge moment that I’m proud of, a huge moment that I’ll never forget. I’ll definitely never forget it because I got split open pretty bad, I got some good scars on my face. Absolutely incredible, like I said, a moment that I’ll never forget.”
