WWE legend and Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam made an unbeknownst appearance on September 13th on SmackDown. But that's not all. On February 21st on AEW Dynamite he teamed up with 'Hangman' Adam Page and HOOK in order to wrestle Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland and Brian Cage.
In an interview Van Dam said:
The first time I spoke to Tony Khan about doing something in his company, I informed him of the factor that I have a WWE legend contract. So my use in AEW would be limited in that they can't put me in video games, action figures and things like that, so you could say it's limited on both ends or you could say I have both ends working, the best of both worlds or you could just say RVD does what he wants, the wrestler said with a laugh.
More and more fighters are given the rank of legends and among them are:
- Diamond Dallas Paige
- Victoria
- Jesse 'The Body'
- Ventura
- Armando Estrada
