Saw this thread title and started laughing. I mean, early NXT just didn't have good matches outside the main event. Best of Oliver Grey, anyone?

So, I did the research on this and I can recommend two matches:
Rusev vs Kassius Ohno - This was from the last month of Ohno's first run with the company and it's a sprint of a banger. Think Owen vs 1-2-3 Kid from 1994 KotR. It begins looking like a squash, then Ohno starts with the counters. Definitely the match you're looking for if you clicked on this thread.
Rusev vs Xavier Woods II - Their first match was a squash and this is the rematch from a few weeks later. Woods showed character growth here in appearing to have learned from the previous encounter and it makes for a much more enjoyable match, with a post match sequence with Lana that really hammers home Rusev as an intimidating killing machine.

I find it hilarious how so many people made themselves believe that Rusev was great yet most of this thread has been everyone struggling to remember a single decent match of his. I watched a lot of his main roster run and I don’t remember any there either.
Dude was basically a catch phrase (which came much later) and a hot wife/valet.
