Rob Van Dam Returning to WWE?

The former ECW Superstar has been missing from WWE TV since 2014, where he helped put over the likes of Cesaro and Seth Rollins. However, the high flyer may be considering a return to the WWE.
RVD was recently interviewed by Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, to promote his appearance at Booker T’s charity event on Sunday in Hollywood, and said:
"“I’m looking at 24 matches, all international, booked over the next 12 months. I don’t have any plans to share, but there is always a possibility of a return. I’ve talked to WWE recently, but it’s about the new video games that are coming out. That was more of a business talk about that, but when the business is right, and it’s the right time to go back, that, of course, is then always a possibility.”"
Obviously, it’s not concrete, however, RVD is usually quite coy with his answers regarding a WWE return. Much like Jericho, he usually pops out of nowhere. I guess time will tell.
Charlotte Flair: ‘I Knew My Dad Would ‘Kick Out’ of Coma!’

The last few months for the Flairs has not been a good one. Ric Flair, Charlotte’s dad, has been in hospital, in a coma, and then, finally, been released from hospital recently. As I said, not a good couple of months.
Thankfully, Ric Flair is now safe and healthy, and is even kicking the booze. Charlotte throughout the trouble was reportedly very supportive of her father, as one would expect, and during a recent interview with TMZ, she told the reporter that she knew her dad would kick out of the coma, as well as giving an update on Flairs’ health.
"She knew her father would “kick out” after a medical emergency left him in a coma … and says he’s doing MUCH better now. Charlotte says her father has finally been cleared to go home after living in a treatment center since he was released from the hospital — “We’re all happy.”"
After the last few month of anticipation, dread, and sadness, it’s good to finally see some hope back in The Nature Boy. Hopefully, he carry on staying sober, so he can outlive all of us!
