RUSH Forms New LFI Stable on AEW Collision Grand Slam 2024 Show

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision Grand Slam 2024 show also featured RUSH forming a new La Faccion Ingobernable stable in AEW.

Following Hologram’s victory over Dralistico and The Beast Mortos in a Three-way Lucha Libre match, Dralistico and Mortos were seen arguing at each other over Dralistico’s issues about them not being on the same page and letting Hologram pick up the win. This led to RUSH coming out to the ring and played peacemaker teasing him forming a new LFI with Dralistico and Mortos. They were interrupted by Hologram who tried to attack Mortos only for all three of them to quickly attack and laid out Hologram in return.

What is RUSH up to?
