- As noted, Lio Rush vs. Noam Dar did not air on this week's WWE 205 Live but it has been announced for next Wednesday's episode. A segment aired on this week's show that saw 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick pull Rush from the ring after Rush mentioned his recent commitments to Bobby Lashley. The segment appeared to be a way of giving attention to the Rush – Lashley partnership and Maverick's new alliance with The Authors of Pain on RAW.
Rush said the new partnership with Lashley is a "gift and a curse" as Drake told him he can "sing with Elias or do jumping jacks with Kevin Owens" on RAW but he must fulfill his 205 Live obligations. Drake said there would be consequences for Rush if he's not ready to face Dar next week.
#205Live GM @WWEMaverick isn't playing games.
If @itsLioRush wants to continue to compete on @WWE205Live, he'll need to fulfill ALL of his obligations. pic.twitter.com/B80CLC63QS
