A security guard who appeared on the latest episode of WWE RAW recently faced AEW star Rush a couple of weeks ago on Dynamite. Deonn Rusman has performed as a local competitor for both WWE and All Elite Wrestling multiple times.

Last night on RAW, Rusman made an appearance as one of the security guards for Chad Gable following the brutal attack on the Olympian by the debuting Wyatt Sicks last week.

On X (Twitter), a fan revealed that Deonn Rusman competed in a singles match against Rush on the June 12, 2024, episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite.

"One of the guards, Deonn Rusman, competed on AEW Dynamite against Rush almost two weeks ago," the fan wrote.

Dutch Mantell believes AEW is ruining Kazuchika Okada

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada is one of the biggest signings for All Elite Wrestling in recent memory. After arriving in the company, The Rainmaker turned heel and aligned himself with The Young Bucks. However, for the past couple of weeks, Okada has taken up a comedy gimmick, which has been praised by fans.

Speaking on Storytime with Dutch Mantell, the former WWE manager criticized Tony Khan for booking Kazuchika Okada as a babyface, given that the latter is a part of a heel faction.

"The Bucks are supposed to be heels, right? Kazuchika Okada, people are laughing; they are enjoying him. So, he is really a babyface; doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? I mean, he said, 'Oh God, Oh!' and covered his hands up. I don't know if anybody has seen this or not, but it's kind of comical to see a Japanese guy doing it anyway, and I don't know; I think they've lost their direction on that one already," he said.

The Rainmaker is currently part of The Elite with Jack Perry, Matthew, and Nicholas Jackson. It will be interesting to see how the company books Okada in the coming weeks.
