It seems that NXT may be finally giving Lio Rush a push after catching heat for tweeting out a joke regarding the firing of Emma.

Rush worked a dark match before Wednesday's WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University in which he defeated indie wrestler Chico Adams.

However, Rush came down to the ring with a bodyguard. The big man’s name is Babatunde Aiyegbusi, a former pro football player that stands 6 foot 10 inches and 355 pounds. Below are photo of the two together:
