NXT star already has heat in WWE because of his comment about Emma’s release (updated)

UPDATE: Click here to read Lio Rush’s apology.

ORIGINAL: It’s never fun to hear about a WWE Superstar losing their job and the classy thing to do is to wish them well as they figure out what they are going to do in their next line of work. Lio Rush apparently doesn’t know that making light of someone getting fired is a big no-no. He is getting some heat on Twitter for his recent Twitter post that is clearly a jab at the recent release of Emma. Rush wrote, “I guess these are the things that happen when you’re not TRULY ready for @WWEAsuka ?”

NXT Superstars Peyton Royce, Buddy Murphy, and former WWE Superstar Rosa Mendes didn’t think his comment was funny.

Royce wrote: “Wow, kid. Didn’t you just get here? Professionalism goes a long way.”
