During the second hour of Dynamite this week, AEW aired a short video vignette to hype Lio Rush’s return to the company.

Lio Rush said that we can call him the “LBO Lio,” or “Leverage Buy-In.” He explained that money-making tactic and made it very clear that is how he makes money for his people. This was quite a shock to see Lio Rush back on AEW television, but Tony Khan did say that he was trying to get the Man of the Hour back on the company’s programming.

Now it appears that Lio Rush is back and he is going to spend even more time in AEW. After they aired a teaser vignette for him this week on the show, it was officially announced that Lio Rush is now All Elite. They sent out their typical “Welcome To The Team” tweet to signify that the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion is now officially with the company.
