Now that Lio Rush is out of WWE and may never wrestle again, he’s selling his gear to fans who may be interested. As part of that, Rush showed off a mask he proposed wearing in the company at Triple H didn’t approve of. It’s an orange getup with insect eyes and fake feelers sticking out all around it, seemingly matching up with a few of his tattoos.
Once upon a time I had a vision of wearing a mask but HHH said no lol. This is just the prototype. Anyways it’s NOW FOR #SALE💰. Email [email protected] for details. pic.twitter.com/9G7FQt9MuQ

It’s unclear what gimmick was designed to go with this mask, but it never saw the light of day. Instead, we saw the Man of the Hour who made a brief stop in NXT before becoming Bobby Lashley’s hype man. Rush was one of numerous WWE employees affected by a mass firing/furlough last month. You can purchase other ringside accessories from Rush via his social media, or check out his new album, which recently dropped.
