The WWE is holding their Hall of Fame ceremony that will air on Peacock in the US and the WWE Network worldwide on April 6. With last year’s event being canceled, both the Class of 2020 and 2021 will be inducted simultaneously, and WWE is currently announcing names. Previously Molly Holly, Eric Bischoff, Kane, and The Great Khali had been announced with Rob Van Dam heavily rumored. However, the former ECW original’s inclusion is no longer just a rumor as WWE has officially announced RVD as part of the Class of 2021. The timing makes sense as he has been a free agent since the end of last year, having departed Impact Wrestling, and WWE is working on a documentary for him as part of their WWE Icons series
Since leaving WWE in 2014, RVD has competed in around 65 matches. The majority have been for Impact Wrestling, which he claims paid him better than WWE did. Since the departure, he has also traveled the globe, competing on big independent shows in the UK, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Qatar for seemingly huge money. However, it’s doubtful he’ll make an in-ring return for WWE as he now suffers from visual impairment from a head injury that occurred on November 12, 2016, while wrestling on an indie show. That and the fact he has stated he has suffered hundreds of concussions over his career, it’s unlikely he’d get medically cleared.
