Not long after the announcement, Rush posted an update to his social media.

“I’m not suffering, but man am I in some pain. What a night. What a match. I’ll be back for more. Thanks to everyone for riding with me on this journey through the #ForbiddenDoor,” he wrote.

He later added, “I’m good guys. Couple ice baths and I’ll be straight. I appreciate the concern.”

Rush returned to AEW in May after having been gone since late-2021. He wrested in the Forbidden Door Casino Gauntlet match on the May 29 Dynamite in his return match and has been involved in a developing story with Top Flight and Action Andretti since. Rush defeated Andretti on the June 19 Rampage taping to qualify for the TNT title ladder match at Forbidden Door.
