So, let's assume someone can Bullrush as an AoO. Let's also assume someone else is currently Bullrushing with Greater Bullrush (causing the bullrush target to provoke AoO). Let's also assume that neither of them need to move with the target to Bullrush.

EDIT FOR CLARITY: The target is a third person. Let's call him Joe. Joe is bullrushed by Greater BR guy in to AoO BR guy's reach.

Will the AoO bullrush stop the current bullrush, or will the current bullrush just be temporarily interrupted, but continue on, after the AoO bullrush completes?

Assuming that all of that actually works the way that you posted, the original bull rusher would be knocked back (if the AoO bull rush is successful), and their bull rush would be ruined, since you have to move in a straight line while doing it, same as with charge.

It depends on the AoO Bullrush being able to actually break the movement of the BR attacker. If yes, then that attempt is foiled by breaking the straight line it takes.

IF the original rusher is rushing somebody OTHER than the AoO rusher, AND the AoO rusher moved them in such a way as to make a bull rush an illegal action, the original bull rush fails.

If the AoO rusher is the target, the original rush will happen unless the AoO physically incapacitates the original rusher as part of the AoO.

Otherwise, it depends. If you don't have a map nobody can tell you the answer.

Edited it to clarify.

The current bull rush ends, as the target of the rush is removed(assuming the AoO rush was successful) and the action has become illegal.

Cool. Thought so.
