LFI's RUSH and Dralistico Sidelined by Injuries, Surgeries

Two prominent members of the La Facción Ingobernable faction in All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor, RUSH and Dralístico, face extended absences from the ring due to injuries that have worsened from continued competition, according to reports from wrestling insider Bryan Alvarez. Both wrestlers are expected to undergo surgery in the coming days or weeks, disrupting their immediate schedules on AEW's Collision and Dynamite programs as well as upcoming ROH events.

RUSH's knee injury, which he has managed for years, deteriorated after he chose to forgo time off in pursuit of more prominent booking opportunities. Alvarez detailed that RUSH previously underwent knee surgery in Mexico, but the procedure failed to resolve the underlying issues. "We are told RUSH has been working with a bad knee for years, but because he wanted opportunities on Collision and Dynamite he didn’t want to take time off," Alvarez said. "Working through it made it worse." AEW CEO Tony Khan confirmed during a recent media call that RUSH has been pulled from the ROH Final Battle pay-per-view on December 21 in Arlington, Texas, and will undergo evaluation soon, with surgery almost certain.
