The wrestling world is always picking up hints on their favorite stars’ in-ring return. Currently, there is wide speculation regarding the WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam’s potential in-ring return.

RVD has been one of the most influential stars in the business possessing a decorative in-ring career over the years. The high flyer made his debut in the Stamford-based company back in 2001 after having an impressive run with ECW. His first run in the company lasted for 6 years, which was enough for him to earn numerous accolades. He started his second WWE run in 2013, only to wrap it up within a year.

Rob Van Dam teases WWE return after 9 years

As part of his few sporadic appearances in the company, RVD turned up in his old wrestling home to announce the second-round WWE draft picks alongside Michael Hayes on SmackDown. It added fuel to the fire of the already existing speculation of his in-ring return after 9 years of detachment.

His very presence in the arena triggered the hope of seeing him back in action. One of the fans couldn’t control his urge and ended up posting a tweet regarding this. The tweet says, ‘In all honesty, I was really hoping @TherealRVD was gonna draft himself to a show! Oh well! Maybe next draft!’

Much to everyone’s surprise, the post saw RVD reacting with a retweet. The legend himself wrote in the caption, ‘I’ve heard that quite a bit.’

However, the veteran’s next destination can also be elsewhere other than WWE, at least his latest tweet hinted so.

Days ago, someone wrote on Twitter, ‘Are you under contract to WWE? Could you come to AEW if Tony wanted you?’

The star promptly came up with a major hint that will leave many confused but excited.
