Lio Rush is confronted by Moose and Brian Myers about ditching them last week. Rush asked why Moose and Myers are aligned with Bully Ray. Ray surprises Rush. Moose said they weren’t asking to be friends, and Ray said that he was with them or against them, so Rush has to align with them tonight or else….
