#3 Rob Van Dam had 2 matches in WWE NXT

Rob Van Dam is one of the few WWE superstars who appeared on RAW, SmackDown, and ECW. That’s not all, as the high-flyer also made his way to the NXT brand of WWE.

In September 2013 (aired in October 2013), RVD competed against Aiden English in his first match on NXT. RVD was able to finish off English with a perfect Five Star Frog Splash to pick up a victory.

That’s not all, as the former WWE Champion once again headed over to NXT in 2014. RVD competed against Adrian Neville in May 2014 (aired in June 2014) for his second outing. However, RVD wasn’t as successful the second time around as Neville managed to put on an aerial clinic and defeated one of WWE’s best high-flyers.

Neville was the reigning NXT Champion at the time, and RVD showed some respect by shaking his hand and raising his arm after the contest. This showed that the veteran was clearly impressed by Neville’s performance in the ring and wanted to put him over at the time.
