RVD Was On Standby For WWE Royal Rumble Return

RVD remains one of the most technically-gifted pro wrestlers to have ever competed inside the squared circle. The pro wrestling legend has competed in several promotions such as ECW, WCW, WWE, and IMPACT Wrestling during his career that has lasted over thirty years. It seems he was open to making a return during the WWE Royal Rumble as well.

RVD became a fan of the pro wrestling world in the 80s and realized he wanted to do it all his life. In fact, RVD was also instructed during the early days of his career to say that he was actually related to Jean-Claude Van Damme.

The Royal Rumble promised a lot of surprise returns, but that did not end up happening as fans criticized the match for being dull and barely having genuine surprise returns.

While speaking to Sportskeeda, RVD revealed that he was on standby and even had ring gear ready in case WWE called on him to appear during the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

“I let the WWE know that I was available if they needed me for Royal Rumble, and I was on standby, with a brand new outfit feeling great, you know, in a great condition. In the end, they did not call me in, but it could happen anytime. I really do not have any plans for it, but you know, I would consider any situation from any company. I would definitely consider it. If it’s right, it’s right.”

RVD’s return during the 2009 Royal Rumble received a lot of cheers from the fans as well. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether RVD will make his return to WWE somewhere down the line or not.
