Rush says he & father have quit AAA

Posted on by Josh Nason

Rush took to Facebook Saturday to announce he and his father, Bestia del Ring, have quit Mexico’s AAA promotion for a second time and are now “totally independent.”

He and LA Park were scheduled to take on Sam Adonis and Psycho Clown at July’s Triplemania in Tijuana where the losing team would wrestle against each other in a mask vs. hair match at August’s Triplemania in Mexico City.

Mexican wrestling expert and writer Luchablog noted on Twitter that while the main event of AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Kenny Omega is big for those outside of Mexico, “that tag match (and the possibility of Park/Rush) was the big ticket seller.”

He also noted this doesn’t mean Rush would be allowed to wrestle at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2. Due to an arrangement NJPW has with CMLL, AAA talent are not allowed to appear on those kinds of shows.

As of last September, Rush is under a full-time deal with AEW.

Rush, a longtime fixture in CMLL, first appeared with AAA in December 2019 through March 2020. He returned in December 2022 and wrestled five matches with the last coming in April. Bestia wrestled for AAA during the same timeframe, taking part in ten multi-man matches.

Two championships change hands at ROH 19th Anniversary

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two championships changed hands during tonight’s ROH 19th Anniversary show.

Tracy Williams walked out of tonight’s show a double champion. He defeated Kenny King to win the Television championship for the first time. King was defending the title for Dragon Lee, who was unable to compete following minor surgery for a broken eardrum. This ends Lee’s run after over 470 days with the title, winning it at Final Battle 2019.

The ROH World Tag Team titles also changed hands, with Williams and Rhett Titus defeating Bestia del Ring and Kenny King. Bestia replaced Dragon Lee, who was also one half of the Tag Team champions. Titus submitted Bestia with a full nelson to win the match and the titles.

After the match, Bestia and King confronted manager Amy Rose, blaming her for the loss after the referee took away a steel chair she tried to introduce into the match. She gave the middle finger to King and started to leave, but King grabbed her and told her that she was done, allowing Bestia to spear her. 

Rush, Dragon Lee & Bestia del Ring sign new contracts with ROH

Posted on by Joseph Currier

ROH World Champion Rush and ROH Television Champion Dragon Lee have both re-signed with Ring of Honor.

ROH announced on Tuesday that Rush and Dragon Lee have signed new contracts with the company. Their father La Bestia del Ring, who made his ROH debut at December’s Final Battle pay-per-view, has also signed a contract with ROH.

Rush is a two-time ROH World Champion, with his current reign with the title beginning when he defeated PCO and Mark Haskins in a three-way match in February 2020. Rush retained the ROH World Championship against Brody King at Final Battle this past December due to interference by Dragon Lee and Bestia del Ring.

Dragon Lee has been ROH Television Champion since winning the title from Shane Taylor at Final Battle 2019. Lee retained the title against Tony Deppen at Final Battle 2020 and against Rey Horus on an episode of ROH television last month.

Rush, Dragon Lee, and Bestia del Ring are part of La Faccion Ingobernable with Kenny King and Amy Rose. 

This week’s episode of ROH TV was headlined by Rush, Dragon Lee, Bestia del Ring & Flip Gordon going to a no contest with King, PCO & The Briscoes.

Amy Rose, Mark Haskins, Bandido, Bateman, Brian Johnson, Sumie Sakai, Tracy Williams, The Bouncers (Beer City Bruiser & Brian Milonas), Jonathan Gresham, Jay Lethal, and ROH Dojo trainee Sledge have also recently signed new contracts with ROH.

Bestia del Ring appears at ROH Final Battle

Bestia del Ring appeared at the end of tonight’s ROH Final Battle pay-per-view event, joining the La Faccion de Ingobernable stable.

He appeared towards the end of the ROH World title match between his son, champion Rush, and challenger Brody King. Dragon Lee came out and distracted the referee as Bestia came in and attacked Brody with a steel chair. This allowed Rush to hit the knees in the corner to pin Brody and retain the title.

After the match, LFI celebrated in the ring as The Foundation (Jonathan Gresham, Jay Lethal, Tracy Williams, and Rhett Titus) came out, teasing a future feud between the two stables.

Rush cut a promo after the show ended that ended up on social media, dismissing the Foundation.  

Bestia, who used to wrestle under the name Pierroth in CMLL, is the father of both Dragon Lee and Rush. He left CMLL when the company fired Lee and Rush last fall and has since made appearances in AAA.
