Any word on if Rob Van Dam is back with WWE, at least in a Legends Deal capacity? I just find it odd that WWE has all of a sudden started promoting him.
Rob Van Dam is advertised as part of the new "WWE Icons" Documentary Series on the WWE Network starting in 2021, and on WWE.com today they posted a video of his July 22, 2002 Ladder match against Jeff Hardy.
The word on the internet is he's gone from Impact, so if he's not back with WWE, I guess him being gone from Impact is good enough for WWE to start promoting him again?
I've always been a fan of RVD. His run as ECW TV Champ was some of the best in ring stuff I've seen.

Hopefully he resigns and gets put in the Hall. The way they jobbed him out so bad on his last run was no way to treat a legend. But that's just how Vince sees these older folk.

It's not a popular opinion, but I've said it many times- if you've seen one Rob Van Dam match, you've pretty much seen them all.

I thought I read that he did something they didn't like... Wish I could find that article. But it's not hard to upset old man McMahon. I don't know if he's a true legend (in my opinion) but he was pretty good for quite a while. |

I remember a while back he said that he couldn't pass a WWE physical anymore. I don't know how true it is, I hope it isn't because I feel like he could use a final send-off sort of run in WWE. He isn't the same RVD anymore but I'd still like to see him back in a WWE ring.

RVD in the hall, video games, and action figures are good enough for me. He can’t go anymore, his Impact run was borderline embarrassing but his accomplishments deserve recognition.

He's 49, I don't think anyone is going to expect any matches akin to the quality of his stuff with the likes of Jerry Lynn.
I wouldn't be against some kind of run with Riddle though. You could say that is uninspired or predictable but I think a short lived tag team or even as a mentor kind of role could be gold.

Id rather see another Jean Claude film run before a Rob wrestling run.

I was a mega RVD fan but he's been done for a while. his feud with del rio was bad stuff, uninspired, and his impact act as like a pimp or whatever was really cringy for a middle aged dude to be pulling. less than a month ago he was reported as saying he has zero inspiration left in wrestling.

Bingo a short or maybe longer run with Matt Riddle as a tag team could be great as Riddle could cover up for RVD's short comings now and then you could do the turn and have RVD put over Riddle and ride off into the sunset.

Hopefully so. I’d like more Rob figures and to see his career get showcased on the network with documentaries and what not

RVD should give Vince an edible.

I love Van Dam and hated his last run in WWE. They should of had him as a spectacle. Come in win a few short matches and show up for a PPV. Also, maybe it’s me, but even his singlets were kind of lacking during his last run. I’m hoping he resigns and at least gets some legends deal and a manager role.
