Lio Rush replaces Jonathan Gresham at The Wrld on GCW

Jonathan Gresham was replaced by Lio Rush on tonight’s The Wrld on GCW event.

Prior to the match, Christian said that things happen, and as a result Gresham wasn’t at tonight’s show. After saying he still wanted his ROH title shot in the future, he said that someone else was in the back that he had great matches with in GCW. This brought out Rush. Christian was eventually able to pick up the win with a 450 splash.

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported prior to the match that Gresham was unable to make it to the show due to medical protocols. 

Rush originally was scheduled to be in a Grab the Brass ring ladder match that kicked off the show. However, he was replaced by G-Raver.

Gresham has defended the ROH World title across various promotions in the last month, including in his own Terminus promotion, the independent scene, and Impact Wrestling, where he successfully defended the title against Chris Sabin at Impact’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view event earlier this month.
