Update on AEW Contracts for Rush and Dralistico

Speculation has surrounded the AEW status of lucha libre brothers Rush and Dralistico, who have not appeared on television for several months. Rush has indicated that he is not sidelined due to injury but may not return to the ring until 2027. In contrast, Dralistico has hinted at a desire to leave AEW, recently sharing an AI-generated image of himself in prison.

Reports suggest that Dralistico's AEW contract is set to expire in December, and he may be looking to exit the promotion. Meanwhile, Rush's situation is complicated by visa issues, as his visa has expired, and a new one is not expected until early 2027. Despite the challenges, sources indicate that Rush is content with his position in AEW.

This situation reflects ongoing visa complications affecting AEW, as seen previously with other wrestlers. Rush has faced similar issues in the past, which contributed to his absence earlier this year.
