Lio Rush has sone nasty injuries.

At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17, Lio Rush suffered a brutal facial injury during his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Title bout with YOH where they unsuccessfully challenged Catch 22 (TJP & Francesco Akira.) It was announced during NJPW New Year Dash!! that Rush had suffered a broken nose and would not be able to wrestle at todays show. But, Lio took to social media and said that he had no broken facial bones, but he would miss PWG Battle of Los Angeles, which is scheduled for January 7th and 8th. He says he will be sidelined for a few weeks.

Nasty spill last night on the ramp left me with a few stitches and a massive headache. No broken facial bones. 🙏🏽 Thank you to the #NJPW staff for taking care of me. I’ll be good. Unfortunately BOLA is out the question. See ya in a few weeks. ✌🏽 pic.twitter.com/qHzfFy37lK
