Most champs with gap-closing abilities will punish Rumble. Against WK you should play more conservatively since he can get in and out without taking much damage. Talon is similar to WK but less menacing. Harpoon him from afar and be smart about when you charge in with Flamespitter since cutthroat can catch you off guard. Akali isn't too difficult, but does require caution as her high burst can be a problem. Just harass her a lot and you should come out on top.

As others have noted, Yorick, Garen, and Cho'gath are other threats to Rumble. Additionally, Irelia and Warwick can be quite scary. Generally, champs with high sustain or gap-closers will give you problems. If struggling, though, just play passively and bide your time. Rumble's full combo (e.g. including Equalizer) can usually skew a fight in his favor or even things up.
