You never quite know when, or where, The Rizzler will show up, whether it's an AEW show or a Marvel red carpet event.
Marvel is gearing up for the release of its next blockbuster, 'Thunderbolts*,' and the cast and crew hosted a screening that was attended by, you guessed it, The Rizzler.
But The Rizzler wouldn't be The Rizzler if he showed up looking nondescript. So the social media star/AEW guest star opted to cosplay as one of the stars of the movie, The Red Guardian (played in the movie by David Harbour). Dressed to the nines, with a fake beard and everything, The Rizzler crashed the red carpet and introduced himself to quite a few cast members.

One of the most notable cast members introduced to The Riz was Florence Pugh, who stars as Yelena Belova in the film. Yelena is the sister of Natasha Romanoff, the original Black Widow. Pugh might be known to wrestling fans because of her role in Little Women Fighting With My Family, the biopic that tells the life story of Paige/Saraya and, as the title suggests, her family.
Pugh seemed especially impressed with the 'Riz Guardian' and didn't hesitate to pose for a photo opp. Incidentally, 'Thunderbolts*' is Rizz-approved.

The Rizzler has made a handful of appearances in AEW and he impressed Bryan Danielson so much that the American Dragon stated he wished he named all of his moves after him. Big Boom AJ recently said that he, Big Justice, and The Rizzler are under contract with AEW.
