The mysterious bald guy seen with Brandi Rhodes in a recent Nightmare Collective vignette was revealed tonight on Dynamite.
It all went down during the AEW Women's World title defense between champion Riho and challenger Kris Statlander. Brandi Rhodes was featured on commentary and late in the match her cohort Awesome Kong walked to the ringside area with Melanie Cruise.
Brandi eventually made her way ringside as well and Statlander got in her face.
This is when the bald man teased in the video crawled out from under the ring and stopped Kris from punching Brandi. Excalibur noted the man is "Japanese wrestling deathmatch legend" Luther.
AEW tweeted after his introduction saying, "Just a little more information on the Protector. Luther is a Legend of Japanese Death Matches for both the FMW & IWA Promotions. While a great addition to the #NightmareCollective, it may not be so great for the Stars of #AEW."
The match ended when Riho took advantage of Kong's interference for a pinfall victory.
