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. Vincent has learned his lesson now and treats old wrestlers properly, like Goldberg at the last Saudi show. Original plan might have been for Fiend to win. Goldberg is abit of a different case, shame they didn't treat Kurt like him. But instead made him a goof as a GM then beat him and beat him over and over again. He could definitely still go in 2017, just like RVD, Matt Hardy & Goldust could when they had their runs but they got similar treatment. Even Jericho to a much lesser extent. But similar in sense he was old and ended up in the mid card despite being a great part of the television.

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. It’s probably true. He’s said he’s lost eye sight due to concussions and the last time he was on screen for WWE he didn’t do anything physical despite being in gear. Wanna say it was the last Raw anniversary show

I don’t think he should be performing anymore. But he definitely has a spot in the HOF and a sweet legends deal.

Vince doesn't see him as a legend. Not a chance. He was a product of ECW and they were trash in Vinces eyes, and in all honesty he only ever reached the top once and biffed it big time. Hes slowed down a lot but I think he certainly has a wealth of knowledge to share with the young uns, it'd be interesting to see him in NXT for sure especially if he carries on the heel persona, and works a few dates in ring too. But as for seeing RVD on raw or smack down I'm not into it. I'd say AEW but I feel they have plenty of guys that out pace Rob at this point, and I just don't know where he would fit into the show.

He had his one last run in the fed already, which wasn't great. It's just about honouring his legacy at this point. Definitely should be considered a legend for his fed work alone.

“We want less old star nostalgia runs and part-timers!” “Another RVD run? yeah! EC-DUB!” If they want to make him a guy who can put over new midcard heels, then sure. Otherwise, let him enjoy his weed and that chick with the huge badonkadonk.

Rob was great, he even had a brief run in the WWE in 97, along with the original ECW invasion of Raw in the same year.
He's had his day at this point, but he could work as a mentoring role & have a HoF spot at this point.

I don't see RVD ever going back to WWE because he wouldn't pass their physicals and when he was in Impact Wrestling he looked horrible, slow and not the same in ring performer.

Hopefully so. I’d like more Rob figures and to see his career get showcased on the network with documentaries and what not RVD needs a merch deal. A final send off run. A Hall of Fame induction. Then a documentary called - 'Rob Van Dam: Living The High Life'.

I doubt he would even pass the wellness test.

If RVD is back I can see him being put in a tag team with Riddle as sort of a tongue in cheek joke.

Im more interested to see Lance Storm return as a producer again.. with the chance of finally getting an Elite of him..
As for RVD. I think he would be better off as surpise entrant in the Royal Rumble and then entered into the Hall of Fame. Maybe helping as a producer for NXT too

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.
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 You know they would suggest Blunt Force Trauma as the name of a team finishing move.
