Rob Van Dam will return to WWE action soon. The former WWE Champion shared some insight into his upcoming return with Rehan Amjed, who recorded the conversation. Van Dam clearly states in the interview that he is “off contract” currently with the company, but will be returning with an undefined “short” contract soon.
Amjed and submitted his audio interview with Van Dam to WrestlingInc.com, who posted the clip on Tuesday, Jan. 14. “The Whole F’n Show” notes in the clip that his new contract may or may not be for a 90 day return, but that he will competing again for World Wrestling Entertainment.
Van Dam says,
“I’m off contract, then I’ll go back and do another short contract.”
Amjed then asks the former champion if it will be for 90 days, and Van Dam says,
“…well maybe, maybe not. The last one just happened to be 90 days, that’s just what we worked out.”
As previously reported, Van Dam is expected to return as early as the 2014 “Royal Rumble,” which takes place on Jan. 26, and is penciled in to compete at WWE “Extreme Rules,” which airs on PPV on May 4. The time that spans from Jan. 26 to May 4 is 98 days, which is why Van Dam may be saying that his next contract will not be for a set 90 day schedule.
Only time will tell how long Van Dam sticks around during his next run, but one should not be surprised if Mr. Monday Night makes an appearance during the twenty-seventh annual Royal Rumble match in two weeks.
