Lio Rush Takes Shot at Emma After WWE Release; Bray Wyatt, Peyton Royce & More Fire Back

Earlier today it was reported that Emma had been released from her contract with WWE, after more than six years with the company.

While many from the wrestling world have been pouring out their support for Emma, as well as Darren Young and Summer Rae who were also let go, it took Lio Rush all of half an hour to take an unnecessary shot at the Australian star.

“I guess these are the things that happen when you’re not TRULY ready for Asuka,” the 22-year-old developmental newcomer taunted on Twitter shortly after news broke. Emma’s final matches in WWE were against the debuting “Empress of Tomorrow”, who had spent more than 500 days as women’s champion in NXT before Rush even made his debut.

Several members of the roster are apparently unhappy with his comments.

– Peyton Royce: “Wow, kid. Didn’t you just get here? Professionalism goes a long way.”

– Bray Wyatt: “You ain’t gonna make it here with the wolves, kid.”

– Sean Waltman: “Sad to see this from you.”

– Rosa Mendes: “SHOW SOME RESPECT!! Have some class. You work for the same company. I’m so disgusted.”
