According to Wrestling Observer Radio, one of the sport's top young stars is on his way to WWE, as Lio Rush is coming to the NXT brand.

Though Rush has yet to take the physical examinations required of all incoming WWE talent, his signing is considered imminent, bringing months of rumors to a close. Rush had reportedly fielded multiple offers, but was most interesting in joining WWE.

Youth is very much on Rush's side, as the former Ring of Honor and EVOLVE Wrestling star is only 22 years old. Still, in his three years of wrestling, he's accomplished quite a bit, using his high-flying style to stand out in a competitive independent scene. Just this past May, Rush defeated Joe Gacy to win the CZW World Heavyweight Championship, and while he lost the belt to Davey Richards later in the month, it only fueled rumors that a major signing lay in Rush's future.

When Rush joins the NXT brand, he'll be reunited with a former tag team partner in "The Velveteen Dream" Patrick Clark. Together, the two men held the Maryland Championship Wrestling Tag Team Titles in 2015.
 
** SPOILER ** New GFW World Champion Crowned (Photo)
By Raj Giri | August 17, 2017

Eli Drake won the Gauntlet For The Gold match at tonight's GFW Impact Wrestling TV tapings in Orlando to become the new GFW World Champion. The match will air on next week's Impact Wrestling. Jim Cornette returned to GFW to fire Bruce Prichard and take over as an authority figure and announced the match for next week's show to fill the vacant GFW World Championship.



A Gauntlet match is similar to a Royal Rumble, as two men start and a new entrant comes in every 90 seconds. It's over the top elimination until it comes down to the final two competitors, at which point the only way you can win is via pinfall or submission.
Drake entered the match at #1 while Eddie Edwards was #2. The match came down to both Drake and Edwards. It is Drake's first World championship, although he is a former King of the Mountain Champion.

You can check out a photo of Drake with the belt below, courtesy of Wrestling Inc. reader Lyne Butterworth:
