Whereas talking on Protecting It Official 100, WCW veteran and AAA inventive staff member Konnan claimed that Tony Khan’s assertion is ‘incorrect’ as RUSH was by no means going to be a part of the tag staff and there was no double cross.

“He is incorrect. I’ve already advised the story varied instances, and my model is right. He is providing you with some ‘I wanna look good on this interview. I am the sufferer,’ kind story… He claims that RUSH was presupposed to be in that match with Dralistico’s brother. He was advised forward of time that RUSH didn’t wanna be a part of a tag staff. He wished to be a singles star, and we’re gonna put any person else in his place, probably Dragon Lee. So, I am undecided the place the double cross is,” he mentioned. [00:53 – 01:30]
