AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view on Sunday night saw Lio Rush make a surprise appearance as the 21st entrant into the Casino Battle Royale. The former WWE NXT Champion didn’t last long in the match (getting eliminated by Matt Hardy and Private Party) but it looks like his time in the Jacksonville promotion is far from over. Tony Khan talked about his status in the event’s post-show media scrum, saying (via Cageside Seats), “I haven’t got pen to paper but Lio and I have a handshake where he can work here and New Japan. He wanted to keep working here and I think we’ve worked something good out on a handshake. I think he has a handshake with New Japan too and that’s what we’ve been doing and it’s been pretty good. I think it’s a good way to work. So far, so good.”
