The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation that a WWE icon, Rob Van Dam (RVD), may be making a grand return to the ring at next year’s WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The Hall of Famer, who has been absent from the WWE scene for a decade, has been dropping hints on social media, fueling the excitement among fans.
RVD, known for his high-flying moves and charismatic persona, has been keeping in top physical condition despite not being an active member of the WWE roster. He has been competing on the independent circuit and making sporadic appearances for other major promotions, including Impact Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
The buzz around RVD’s potential return to WWE gained momentum when fans took to Twitter, predicting his appearance at WrestleMania 41, which will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. In a subtle yet telling move, RVD liked several of these tweets, further igniting the speculation. Interestingly, this online activity coincided with April 20 (4/20), a number that holds special significance for the veteran wrestler.
RVD’s last stint with WWE was in 2014, and while he has made occasional appearances since then, he has not stepped into the ring with some of the newer members of the company.However, his recent in-ring performances in AEW, where he has faced the likes of Swerve Strickland, Jack Perry, Samoa Joe, and others, have demonstrated that he still has what it takes to thrill audiences.
In a recent interview with Wrestlesphere, Kevin Owens, a WWE Superstar, expressed his enthusiasm about the possibility of facing RVD, citing his respect for the ECW legend. Owens hinted that a match between them was still a possibility, and with RVD not being tied down to a specific promotion, the door is open for a WWE return.
As the wrestling universe eagerly awaits further developments, one thing is certain – the prospect of RVD’s return to WWE has electrified fans worldwide. With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, the question on everyone’s mind is: will the “Whole Damn Show” be making a triumphant return to the Grandest Stage of Them All? Only time will tell.
