- As noted, the dark match before Wednesday's WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University saw Lio Rush defeat indie wrestler Chico Adams. It looks like they are testing out a bodyguard for Rush as he was accompanied to the ring by big man Babatunde Aiyegbusi, a former pro football player that stands 6 foot 10 inches and 355 pounds. Below are photo of the two together:
