The AEW star Rush was forced to vacate his Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship due to injury. He won the title along with Sammy Guevara three months ago. After he vacated the title, Rush got replaced by The Beast Mortos of LFI as Guevara's partner, and the duo would be competing for the vacant titles at ROH Final Battle on December 5.

According to a report from Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer, Rush was working through a bad knee, which worsened the injury. It was also noted that the 37-year-old star will be evaluated next week and will certainly undergo surgery. Therefore, he is expected to be out of action for a while.
