Following Rush posting the comment, he received a ton of public backlash, with fellow WWE stars Peyton Royce, Bray Wyatt, Jack Gallagher and more condemning Rush’s Tweet. Shortly after the backlash began to roll in, Rush issued an apology, which you can read below.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was said to be so much heat on Lio Rush following his comment, that he was nearly fired from WWE. However, the report furthers his quick apology is what ultimately spared him and his job, and he was not released.
