Real identity of RAW star who went viral on WWE show

Tonight's WWE RAW was filled with mystery and suspense surrounding The Wyatt Sicks on the road to Money in the Bank. Two familiar faces were featured on the show, which led to one viral moment.

Chad Gable was attacked last week by The Wyatt Sicks during their violent debut. The Olympic competitor was surrounded by security as he arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for tonight's RAW. WWE booked extra security this week in hopes of preventing another massacre.

Gable had two guards posted outside of his locker room. Cathy Kelley checked in with Michael Cole at one point, and the guards could be seen behind her. On the left is multi-time OVW champion Luke Kurtis, who recently appeared for TNA as Mustafa Ali's bodyguard. The man on the right is WrestlePro Alaska Champion Deonn Rusman, who was trained by Seth Rollins.

Mr. Certified was a popular topic on social media due to his straightforward stare during the backstage segment and his growing popularity in the "Wrestlers" series on Netflix. Kurtis is engaged to AEW's Leila Grey.

Kurtis has wrestled one match for WWE in the past. He was one of five talents squashed by Braun Strowman on SmackDown in October 2022. Aleister Black squashed Rusman on RAW in December 2019. Gable's guards have also worked multiple ROH and AEW matches. Russman's fifth All Elite match was a squash Dynamite loss to Rush earlier this month, while Kurtis' second All Elite match was a Dark loss to Anthony Ogogo in August 2022.

One of the other security guards who helped escort Gable into the building earlier in the show was SCW Heavyweight Champion Dustan Moseley. Rollins also trained him at his Black & Brave Wrestling Academy.

Next week's WWE RAW matches

Next week's WWE RAW will be the go-home episode for Money in the Bank. The show will air live from the TD Garden in Boston, MA.
