Professional wrestling career

Early career

Green debuted under the ring name "LI Green", but after a negative response to the name from promoters, he changed it to "Lennon Duffy".[1]

Combat Zone Wrestling (2014–present)

Green, as Lennon Duffy, made his debut for Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) on December 31, 2014, defeating Slugger Clark.[6] He and Clark began to compete together as known as Sudden Impact. On September 12, he changed his name for "Lio Rush" and started a feud with Joey Janela, where he faced him, Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley at Down With the Sickness 2015, match won by Janela.[7] At Night of Infamy, on November 21, he wrestled Joey Janela for the CZW Wired Championship on a losing effort.[8] On December 12, during Cage of Death XVII, he won the CZW Wired TV Championship, defeating Janela for the title.[9] He made his first successful defense against Kevin Bennett on January 16.[10] He lost his title against Joey Janela on February 13 at CZW Seventeen.[11] On March 26, 2016, at CZW Proving Ground, Rush defeated Joey Janela, Dave Crist and David Starr to win the CZW Wired Championship.[12]

Ring of Honor (2015–present)

Six months after his professional wrestling debut, Rush took part in a Ring of Honor (ROH) training camp. He, however, was not signed due to his limited experience.[1] After getting more experience wrestling on the independent circuit, Rush took part in another training camp and, now with the backing of Kevin Kelly, Steve Corino, Adam Cole, Jay Lethal and Kyle O'Reilly, was signed as a participant in the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament.[1] Rush made his debut in ROH on December 19, 2015, beating Vinny Marseglia in a dark match.[13] Rush went on to compete in the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament, defeating Jason Kincaid on January 9,[14][15] going on to defeat Brian Fury on February 6 to win the tournament.[16] On March 31, ROH announced that Rush had signed a contract with the promotion.[17] On Supercard of Honor X Night 1 at April 1, 2016, Rush unsuccessfully challenged Jay Lethal for ROH World Championship.

Other promotions

He learned wrestling during 2014 with MCW Training Center. He debuted at the 2014 Tribute To The Legends and created a tag team named "Sudden Impact" with Patrick Clark.[4] On July 18, he won the Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup XV, defeating Brandon Scott, Drolix, Eddie Edwards, Matt Cross and Shane Strickland in a six-way elimination match.[18] On October 3, he and his teammate Patrick Clark won the MCW Tag Team Championship, defeating The Hell Cats and The Ecktourage.[19] They lost the titles thirteen days later to The Ecktourage.[20]
