Lio Rush has commented on his health status after being removed from several recent New Japan Pro Wrestling shows due to illness.
Those appearances included a three-way match with Hiromu Takahashi and Mike Bailey for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship at Destruction in Ryogoku on October 9th. His place in that match was taken by YOH.
Rush did not go into detail on his current status but noted that he “got really sick” and is currently “home with family.”
He added that he hoped his time away would help him to heal. His full comments, posted to social media, are below:
2 weeks ago I got really sick during a crucial time in my career, changing the path that I was on. Im not entirely sure how to handle it other than to be home with family while I process the changes that this event has caused. I don’t know what’s next other than to heal and I’m hoping that this time away will help me do just that. I’ll be releasing an album, titled No time to heal, on my birthday, Nov 11th, that I hope will tell my story.
