Big Show has earned a disqualification victory over Rusev at this week's WWE SmackDown tapings in Arkansas.
The former world champion was attempting to get revenge for Mark Henry, who was defeated by the Russian at Night of Champions, but he was denied the chance to deliver the KO punch after interference from Lana.
Elsewhere on the show, which will air on Sky Sports on Friday evening, Dean Ambrose overcome a distraction from Seth Rollins and Kane to beat The Miz, while Cesaro won a battle royal to become number one contender for the Intercontinental title.
However, later in the evening, he was defeated by Dolph Ziggler, while the other result of the show saw The Usos secure a triumph over Goldust and Stardust by disqualification.
