Lio Rush on the Ill-Timed Tweet Made About Emma’s WWE Release

ESPN held a recent interview with Lio Rush and one of the topics discussed involved the backlash generated due to his ill-timed Tweet regarding Emma’s release from the WWE last October.

“It was definitely a difficult situation. I’ve worked so hard and spent years trying to brand myself and to show the world that Lio Rush is a top prospect in the professional wrestling world. So it was a bit rough to see so many people turn on me for that, but I’ve owned up to my mistakes. I have said my apologies. What else can you do? You live, you make mistakes and you learn. I know a big thing that I tweeted out shortly after that — ‘a mistake shouldn’t be your attacker, it should be your teacher.’ I’ve definitely learned from that situation. I definitely have not let that situation change the pacing of me succeeding in anything.”
