Rush shoots down speculation about a potential run with WWE or AAA: “My present is AEW”
Ahead of the 2026 AEW All In: London PPV event, Rush commented on his absence from AEW. This led to internet speculation about him potentially having a run with WWE or AAA. Rush responded to a fan on Twitter/X who said that AAA could use him by writing, “No thanks, my present is AEW.”
No thanks,
my present is #aew https://t.co/iWGuxbYORq— RUSH OFICIAL (@rushtoroblanco) September 5, 2026
RUSH went into further detail about his status in a video published to YouTube. Here is the rough translation from Spanish to English…
“There are a lot of fans who, thanks to my work, now want to see Toro Blanco all over the world. A lot of people expected to see me at Wembley in London, at that event. For me, it’s like what we have here in Mexico with an anniversary show. That’s the biggest thing here in the company.
So, of course, it wasn’t this year. It wasn’t the second year, it wasn’t the third year. And every year I’ve worked harder and harder. That’s what you expect, right?
Nevertheless, my moment didn’t come. And yes, I was a little disappointed. Why would I say otherwise? I was sad, honestly. But for me, forget about it. A little bit of sadness like that just makes me prepare even more. I’m going to keep preparing. I’m going to work even harder.
I know there’s no Wembley next year, but I know that at some point I’m going to walk into that stadium. I don’t know when, but at some point I’m going to be there. And that day, I’m going to dedicate that video to all of you.
Why? Because that was a dream. It really was a dream. Or, more than a dream, it was a goal. It was a goal. And you all know that I’ve accomplished every goal I’ve set for myself. I hold onto them and refuse to let go until I accomplish them.
So it didn’t happen this time. No problem. As Toro Gran Luz says, ‘No pasa nada.’ Nothing happens. You just keep preparing in every way and keep drawing energy from your family.
And honestly, a lot of people told me, ‘What, dude? Are you already angry? Are you going to leave for another company?’
How could I be? I’m grateful. I’m very grateful to my boss. I’m grateful to Tony [Khan], honestly. Why? Because I would much rather have him say, ‘If I don’t have a great story for you right now, then I’ll let you continue enjoying this time here with your family.’
Just imagine. Imagine having this time. That’s a blessing, right? So I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every opportunity he has given me.”
