WWE announced it had signed Rush back in August, who reported to the Performance Center after a steady rise on the independent scene and with Ring of Honor.

The 22-year-old Rush has been wrestling since 2014, winning the Ring of Honor Top Prospect tournament in 2016.

WWE made specific mention of Rush joining former tag team partner "The Velveteen Dream" Patrick Clark at the Performance Center.
