WWE superstar Kevin Owens has built a reputation for taking on the biggest names in the wrestling world, but there’s one legend he’s yet to face in the ring – the iconic Rob Van Dam. In a recent interview, Owens expressed his desire to lock horns with RVD, hoping that it’s not too late for the dream match to take place.
Owens’ admission is hardly surprising, given RVD’s impressive legacy in the wrestling industry. A pioneer of the high-flying, hard-hitting hybrid style, Van Dam has been a fan favorite for decades, known for his thrilling matches and unpredictable moves. His last WWE match was in 2014, when he faced Seth “Freakin” Rollins on SmackDown, but the ECW legend has hinted at a possible return to the WWE ring.
And it seems that Van Dam is more than open to making it happen. Speaking on the One of a Kind podcast, RVD showered Owens with praise, giving hope to fans that the blockbuster match might become a reality. With both parties expressing interest, the stage is set for an epic showdown that would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the WWE universe.
Interestingly, Owens recently revealed that he has about nine months left on his WWE contract, and he has no plans to leave the Stamford-based promotion anytime soon. In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Owens explained that he’s happy with his current role in WWE and sees no reason to jump ship.
As for RVD, he’s leaving his options open, including a potential full-time run with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, the WWE Hall of Famer’s next move will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath, one thing is certain – a Kevin Owens vs. Rob Van Dam match would be a dream come true for fans of both superstars. Here’s hoping that Owens’ wish doesn’t fall on deaf ears, and that we get to witness a thrilling encounter between two of the greatest wrestlers of their generation.
