Whether or not old, beaten-up Rob Van Dam can pass a WWE physical in 2019 remains to be seen, but he has been moderately active around the world over the past few years, and is one of the few remaining big-name returns the company haven't already delivered in recent years.

RVD starred in a memorable surprise Rumble appearance back in 2009. 10 years later, he can do the same in Phoenix, then run through his signature offence, popping the crowd like Rey Mysterio in 2018.
