My take on the Lio Rush thing:-

He's both right and wrong.
He's absolutely right that putting Championships on black performers does not absolve these racist companies of SHIT. Pairing two black performers together randomly just because creative has nothing for you is also weird (as much as I enjoy Rick and Ceddy together).
THAT being said.

BLM was a wakeup call for the whole world to be better, and stop with racist attitudes. Fuck WWE, AEW, and all other corporations that still have racist mentalities. But if the movement inspires them to actually give black performers a chance, then so be it.
I will say that Keith Lee is the worst possible example of this (if he's one of the people he was implying), because we all know WHO was gonna end Adam Cole's reign, right? And we all know WHY that didn't happen, right? Apollo, eh, maybe. He could be right about him.
I'm happy for Keith Lee, Sasha Banks, The Street Profits, R-Truth and all of the other thriving black performers right now (I apologize if I forgot anyone). I hope this shit continues. If either company does shit again right now, we gotta call 'em out. We've a long ways to go.
Oh, and more thing:

Finn Bálor doesn't owe Lio Rush SHIT.

That is all. ❤️
Update:

Finn Bálor really is a class act. https://twitter.com/finnbalor/status/1284262431045365765?s=21
