AEW wrestlers RUSH and Dralistico address contract and visa status

Professional wrestlers RUSH and Dralistico have addressed recent social media posts that sparked speculation regarding their futures with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). RUSH clarified that his recent cryptic message about not being seen until 2027 was due to an expired work visa rather than a departure from the company. He stated on X, “I’m happy at my home, #AEW, and my visa has expired.”

Reports indicate that RUSH's visa is not expected to be renewed until early next year, explaining his absence from programming since July. Meanwhile, Dralistico's contract with AEW is reportedly set to expire in December. While Dralistico posted an image of himself behind bars to hint at his uncertain status, industry analysts note he is not injured but has simply not been utilized by the promotion recently.

Speculation regarding both wrestlers potentially moving to WWE or returning to Mexican promotions like CMLL has been discussed by industry insiders, though RUSH has reaffirmed his commitment to AEW.
