In a shocking turn of events, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) performer Rob Van Dam has expressed interest in returning to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after nearly a decade.
The 53-year-old wrestling veteran liked a tweet suggesting an Extreme Rules match against Kevin Owens, sparking speculation about a potential comeback.
Van Dam, known for his high-flying moves and extreme wrestling style, has been performing as a part-timer in AEW since August 2023. However, it appears that he is open to revisiting his WWE roots, where he had a successful run from 2001 to 2014.
During his time in WWE, Van Dam was a fan favorite, winning multiple championships and engaging in memorable feuds with top stars.
The proposed match against Kevin Owens would be a dream come true for many wrestling fans. Owens, currently featured on the SmackDown roster, has been involved in a heated feud with the Bloodline.
He recently expressed his desire to face Van Dam, and it seems that the feeling is mutual. An Extreme Rules match between these two dynamic performers would be an instant classic, given their penchant for high-stakes action and intense physicality.
Van Dam’s decision to leave WWE in 2014 was reportedly due to a lack of creative direction and opportunities.
In an interview on his podcast, “1 of A Kind,” he revealed that WWE had nothing planned for him at the time, leading him to seek greener pastures in Impact Wrestling.
However, it appears that the door may be open for his return, especially with Triple H at the helm as WWE’s Chief Content Officer.
While nothing is set in stone, the possibility of Van Dam returning to WWE for a match against Owens is an exciting one. With both men known for their ability to deliver thrilling performances, this encounter could be a highlight of the year.
Only time will tell if these two wrestling legends will clash in an Extreme Rules match, but one thing is certain – fans around the world would be eagerly anticipating such an event.
