Action Andretti Teases Growing Breakup Tensions with Lio Rush & Top Flight on Friday’s AEW Rampage Show
Friday’s taped AEW Rampage show featured Action Andretti teasing a growing potential breakup from Lio Rush and Top Flight.
In recent week’s of AEW shows, Andretti has grown more frustrated over his issues with himself, Rush, and Top Flight’s struggles to pick up big victories and lack of focus.
During his match with Rush against House of Black on the show, Andretti’s frustrations with Rush grew following an incident between the two where Rush attempted to hit a splash off the top rope only for Andretti to interrupt his move with a blind tag. This led to Rush and Andretti arguing long enough for Malakai Black to hit Andretti with the Black Mass Kick for the pinfall victory for House of Black.
Action says he's got this…

Following the match, an angry Andretti refused to leave the ring with Rush and chucked a water bottle at Brody King’s back while House of Black were celebrating their victory. This led to King laying out Andretti but before House of Black were able to continue their attack, Top Flight dragged Andretti out of the ring and made their way to the back.
