Lio Rush and Action Andretti just made it officialtheir tag team isnt just a duo anymore, its a movement. On the February 22, 2025 episode of AEW Collision, the pair dropped a slickly produced video package that ended with the reveal of their new team name: CRU.
Narrated by Rush himself, the video set the tone for their new direction. You may know our names, but you dont know who we are. The message was clearthis isnt the same team that lost to Private Party in their AEW World Tag Team Championship match last month. Theyre coming back stronger, and with a name that embodies exactly what theyre bringing to the ring: Crazy. Ruthless. Unhinged.
Rush doubled down after the reveal, posting on social media: Call us Crazy. Call us Ruthless. Call us Unhinged. Call us CRU.
The team has been working together more consistently since splitting from Top Flight, and now with a fresh identity, theyre looking to make an even bigger impact. AEWs tag division is already stacked, but CRU just made it cleartheyre not here to blend in,
theyre here to take over.
Will CRUs new identity lead them to championship gold, or is the AEW tag division too deep for them to break through? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
