Former ECW, WWE and TNA great Rob Van Dam enjoyed his three matches on AEW TV between August and October. 'Mr. Monday Night' spoke positively about the company via his podcast afterwards, and has left the door open for more appearances in the future. Could he be All Elite's big announcement?

Granted, there's also chatter that Van Dam will eventually sign his name on the dotted line to play a part in Scott D'Amore's TNA comeback, but that's all conjecture. Being fair, so is this! The fact RVD is even being discussed as a possible signee for two major companies in late-2023 is crazy.

Crazy, but fascinating all the same.

Khan may well like the thought of having an ECW original on his books. Tony was a well-known extreme fanboy growing up, and it'd put a smile on his face to see Rob hitting Van Daminators left, right and centre on his programming. Watch this space, people.
