Next up on the list is a fan favourite, Rob Van Dam. The former ECW Tag-Team Champion made his WWE debut in 2001, achieving a lot in the company during his runs there including winning the WWE Championship as well as a boatload of other titles. One often forgotten part of RVD's WWE career are the couple of matches he had in NXT.

The first of these came in 2013 when he beat Aiden English in singles action. RVD faced Neville aka PAC in his second and final NXT match, losing to the British Superstar.

Kane is one of the most decorated ‘big men’ in the history of pro wrestling. Glenn Jacobs has achieved a lot in his career and has even found time to wrestle a couple of matches in the black and yellow brand.

Kane’s first match in NXT was a dark match against Cody Rhodes, which The Big red Monster won via pinfall, which took place in July 2012.

In his second NXT match, a couple of months after the first, Kane and tag-team partner Daniel Bryan beat the future Fandango and Curtis Axel.
