10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2017

10. Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam was arguably still in his prime when he left WWE in 2007, and many fans expected that he'd be back in the company before too long. Instead, it was six years before the WWE Universe would see the high-flying former champion again, as he returned at Money in the Bank 2013.

RVD's return, which was a temporary thing, didn't go so well - it was mostly centered around a pretty bad World Heavyweight Championship feud with Alberto Del Rio. RVD left and came back again in 2014, but that short tenure was even less productive.

Like Goldberg, RVD has been vocal about not liking his recent usage, but he's also gone on record as saying that he'd be open to a return to the company if certain circumstances were right. Given that the brand split has been reinstituted and that Smackdown, especially, has issues with talent depth, could we see Rob Van Dam come back for one more run? It's certainly not impossible.
