Rob Van Dam Comments On Recent WWE NXT Experience

Rob Van Dam made an appearance on last week's edition of NXT, where it was confirmed he would do something on this Wednesday's show, which emanates from former ECW hotspot the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Speaking about his experience visiting NXT during a recent episode of his 1 Of A Kind With RVD podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said:

"I've been there twice before, and it was a long time ago, ten years ago, and it did look a little different. They definitely had moved some stuff around, and if they had that many warehouses, then I didn't realise it before, but a lot of that is theirs. It was really cool. It was just a good experience, everybody was grateful. Everyone's happy and giving the legends a lot of love. So nothing terribly exciting, but also seeing a lot of my peers as well, and Bubba Ray Dudley, he was standing in the ring when I walked in one time to that area, and I slid in behind him to surprise him, and his calves almost exploded in my face. I texted him and told him that [laughs], but his calves were huge and veins popping out. Looks like he's been doing some toe raises, so good job, Bubba. Saw Shawn Michaels, saw Terry Taylor, yes I did [see William Regal]". Asked specifically about interacting with NXT General Manager Ava, Van Dam added:

She was cool. Everybody was cool. I was just kind of like an extra, popping in and being me, and they were all there, learning and doing....I met everybody, everyone was super cool. They all came up and go, 'Hi, I'm Veronica, good to meet you'". The 53-year-old is currently signed to a WWE Legends deal, but has made several appearances for AEW during the past eighteen months.
