WWE has reportedly slowed down its attempts to go after talent in other promotions while they deal with the ongoing antitrust lawsuit brought forward against them by MLW.
Rush’s AEW deal is believed to be up soon, and when he quit AAA before he returned, there was talk of it opening the door to try to talk with WWE when he legally can.
Rush has been away from AEW TV for the last two months. He last competed on the May 24th episode of AEW Rampage when he teamed Preston Vance and Dralistico against Billy Gunn and The Acclaimed.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that while there is a lot of talk among those in WWE about him, it’s believed AEW gave him a strong offer to stay.
Meltzer wrote, “Rush has been talked about a lot in WWE given his contract situation, although he is believed to have a very strong AEW offer to stay.”
