On “Wrestling Observer Radio”, Brian Alvarez has confirmed that Dralistico’s contract is set to expire soon, and the post seems to indicate that he will be leaving at the end of his contract. Dave Meltzer weighed in and said Dralistico isn’t injured, he’s just not being used. He noted that there are very limited options for where he can go. He could go to AAA and potentially team up with his brother Dragon Lee. He said that RUSH is also healthy. He pointed out that RUSH does not like to lose, but does not give up.
Meltzer explained that CMLL has the memory of an elephant, so RUSH and Dralistico likely won’t be brought back. If they were, he thinks Dralistico would be a key guy and RUSH would be a star on the level of Mistico and Soberano Jr.
“I don’t know when RUSH’s contract is up, but I would say for sure in the past that he and WWE would be a bad fit. They are more controlling than AEW and he is not good at controlling. He hits really hard. He does a very physical style that not everyone likes. You can’t get away with doing that in WWE. satisfied, so it’s a tight fit, it’s impossible, but it’s tight.
