Rob Van Dam wants to compete against Christian Cage, Adam Copeland or Chris Jericho

Rob Van Dam wants to compete against Christian Cage, Adam Copeland or Chris Jericho

Rob Van Dam wants to take on some veterans of his generation.

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam has wrestled for AEW on occasion over the past few months. The roster includes a number of legends and RVD recently named a few he would like to work with.

Speaking of Unique with RVDRob Van Dam has expressed his interest in competing against veterans he has previously competed with.

“I would really like to work with any of my colleagues that I’ve worked with before. If you put me against a young, new guy, he gets a chance, it’s a good chance for him. I can still hang with them, that’s cool. But if we had, say, RVD vs. Edge, RVD vs. Christian, RVD vs. Jericho, I’ve had some outstanding matches with all of those guys, and I have no doubt that if we got back in a ring and they weren’t one of the new, young guys that didn’t quite follow the same rules as me, it would be pretty damn outstanding. You change a few things, do a few things that weren’t acceptable before, and they’ve adapted.

“They might want me to do some moves that I think are stupid or don’t make sense. I have to talk them out of it. This is going to be like, boom, let’s see what the experience of these guys is in their heads, combined with the physicality of RVD, that damn specimen, and the other guys are in top shape as well, so I’d be really stoked to have the chance to do something like that.”

Rob Van Dam: People would be speechless

Rob Van Dam added that he would like a long match and that he doesn’t think people would be blown away by it.

“20 minutes, something like that, 15 at least,” he said. “A long match with someone closer to my generation, where I can be myself and be the acrobat dancing around her like I always have been, but we can tell a great story that everyone understands. I tell you what, I think people would be blown away by the results, I really do.”

After noting that he always loved working with Christian Cage, he reiterated that he would like to face him, Copeland and/or Jericho.

“It would be great to do a program with Christian and/or Edge and/or Jericho,” he said.
