Lio Rush was injured at PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles event on Sunday night where he beat Buddy Matthews via disqualification.

Rush took a curb stomp in his match, and it was later revealed he would be replaced in the semi-finals due to injury.

PWInsider reports that the injury to Lio Rush was caused by a fan throwing a drink at Matthews during a promo before their match. It left part of the mat wet, which caused Matthews to slip while hitting a curb stomp on Rush.

Rush posted on Twitter, "Just being honest with you guys here. I’m not good. But i will be good. And when I’m back, I’ll be dangerous."

The injury point was when Buddy hit the Rollins' style Curb Stomp. Not sure if he hit a sensitive spot or if he came down harder than expected. Given Excalibur's reprimand, my hypothesis is Buddy might've slipped slightly on a spot wetted by a thrown drink (just a guess).
