Tony Khan has confirmed that RUSH is dealing with an injury.
The AEW President went live on X to reveal that the expected ROH World Title match between Bandido and RUSH at Final Battle has been called off due to the later dealing with a knee injury.
The wrestling executive announced that the title will now be defended in a Survival of The Fittest match with the champion squaring off against Sammy Guevara, Komander, Hechicero, Blake Christian, and The Beast Mortos.

RUSH holds the ROH Tag Team Championship with Sammy, and Khan noted that a decision will be made about the titles on Friday.
The injured star last wrestled during the November 15 Collision. He teamed with Sammy and FTR in a match against Bandido, JetSpeed, and Juice Robinson. It's unknown how serious RUSH's injury is, and we should get a better idea on Friday.
