10 Forgotten One Night Only WWE Returns

10. RVD - Royal Rumble 2009

While there have been countless one-night only returns in the Royal Rumble match over the years, one of the more legendary yet, criminally forgotten surprise entrants was that of 'Mr PPV' himself, Rob Van Dam.

Bizarrely, RVD's shocking one night deal at the 2009 Rumble is very rarely even acknowledged, let alone shown in historic Royal Rumble discussions.

Nevertheless, on this night, the crowd erupted when the extreme superstar made his way down the aisle and chants of "RVD" shook the building from the moment he hit the ring. Unleashing his martial arts offence on everything that moved, the fans in attendance were definitely pleased to see 'The Whole F'n Show' make his return to the big time.

Van Dam would last just under 14 minutes in the match before getting eliminated by Chris Jericho. RVD wouldn't return to WWE again for four and a half years, instead opting to ply his trade in TNA.
