Two AEW stars have not been used on television in months, a common problem in AEW with certain talent.
Fightful Select first reported that RUSH and Dralistico were originally slated to beat The Acclaimed at the November 14 Collision taping, sending them to Full Gear for a title match. However, “There was some heat after an incident in their match with Richard Holliday an Alec Price where they got physical with Holliday while he was being checked on by a medic.”
They haven’t been used since. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the status of RUSH and Dralistco.
Alvarez: “Did RUSH and Dralistico get suspended by AEW for attacking and injuring a local a few months ago, and when should we expect them back?”
Meltzer: “I don’t think it was suspended, but they aren’t being used right now. So, I mean, I guess you could say.”
Alvarez: “That is basically the way that I heard it as well.”
Meltzer: “I don’t think it’s an official suspension, but they’re just not being used. Dralistico is, you know, I have no idea when he’s going to be back because it’s not like, you know. I mean, they weren’t doing anything with him anyway. I mean, RUSH, you know, at some point they’ll probably bring RUSH back, you know, I don’t know, you know, Jake hasn’t been on the show. Mortos is, you know he, you know, he’s been on a little bit, but, yeah, that kind of, that LFO thing, has kind of died off.
