Rob Van Dam has discussed a potential match in WWE and also touched upon his views on retirement and a possible retirement tour.

A whole generation of WWE fans hasn’t seen the sensation that is RVD, as he last wrestled in the promotion back in 2014. With him recently returning to the ring following a layoff due to injury, the WWE Hall of Famer has spoken to “TMZ Sports” about getting back in the ring in WWE.

“I am open to consider anything [wrestling in WWE]. That’s part of being open-minded. You know, I try not to shut anything out without at least considering it. And when it comes to something like that, they got my number. They can talk to me. As you know, I’ll be appearing at WWE World also,” he said.

John Cena decided to end his WWE career with a retirement tour, saying goodbye to his fans around the world throughout 2025. RVD, though, doesn’t want a similar approach and doesn’t even want to know when he’s having his last match, which offers a different perspective from his former rival’s final few matches in pro wrestling.

“But as far as a retirement tour, like, unless I change my perspective — which always happens, you’re always looking at everything from a different place in life if you keep going — but the way I feel now is like, I don’t like the idea of labeling something retirement. Or I don’t really want to know if I’m having my last match when I am,” said RVD.

The ECW legend, who was out of action due to breaking both his heels, returned to the ring last month at Battle Championship Wrestling in Australia, where he main evented the show and got a win over Australia’s Mick Moretti. 

Last week’s “AEW Collision” — “Slam Dunk Saturday” and “Slam Dunk Sunday” — which aired over the course of two days, grew in both viewership and ratings.

“Collision,” which was taped on March 18 in Fresno, California, aired in two parts, March 21 and 22, and both shows saw a rise in viewership. The March 21 edition saw viewership grow to 469,000 viewers on average, as per “Wrestlenomics,” growing from the 458,000 it secured in the previous week. The following day, “Slam Dunk Sunday,” saw the viewership rise even further as it crossed the 600,000 mark, with an average viewership of 616,000 for the night. Both nights were one-hour episodes, which were scheduled to air at 11 p.m., but were delayed due to the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament. 

The 18-49 key demographic ratings for both nights also witnessed a gain from the previous week’s rating of 0.07. Saturday night’s show delivered a rating of 0.10, while the following night, the ratings improved even further as it averaged 0.12. 

Saturday night’s show featured a bunch of tag team matches, as well as an AEW TNT Championship match, where Kyle Fletcher retained his title, while Sunday’s match also had some tag team matches, including an AEW World Trios title match.

This coming week’s “Collision” will air live on Saturday, March 28, and will feature an AEW Women’s World Tag Team match, as well as an AEW International Championship match.

Bully Ray is convinced that Oba Femi has to win in his first clash with Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 42.

Ray, on “Busted Open,” said that if Lesnar is unsure about losing to the former NXT Champion, like he and Paul Heyman were about Braun Strowman, the face-to-face with Oba Femi over the last two weeks and the reaction it has generated from the crowd should ease those fears.

“With what we saw over the past two weeks, does Oba Femi need to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania? Is getting over going to be enough? Does Oba need to go over?” asked Ray. “Oba is part of the future of this roster and this company. It ain’t going to hurt Brock Lesnar to lose. And if Brock is on his way out, I don’t think it’s going to affect that last match, if that last match is against Gunther, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think they should put Oba over.”

Ray played devil’s advocate and argued that WWE could be apprehensive about Femi winning if they believe they are force-feeding him to the audience, which he doesn’t think is the case. With reports suggesting that Lesnar could retire later this year, Ray stated that the match against Oba Femi should signal that “The Beast Incarnate” is nearing the end of his career and that Lesnar’s staring at his “wrestling mortality” after the clash.

Ray, who commended Lesnar’s understanding of the business, is adamant that Oba Femi has to win the match and even went as far as to demand WWE put over Femi in the match.

“Come on, WWE, take a chance. Show some b**ls,” he said. “You did what you did over the past two weeks. Why? So you could give Oba a little bit on the front, because he’s really gonna lose on the back? I’d go ahead and do it again in the Garden next week.”

The WWE legend pondered how the match between Femi and Lesnar could pan out — whether it would be a quick finish or stretch to 10 minutes, with both stars bringing out their best.

Chris Jericho has lauded his former WrestleMania opponent, AJ Styles, and disclosed that AEW once tried to sign him.

Styles called time on his career after his match at this year’s Royal Rumble. Many believe that Styles has still a lot to offer in the ring, which he could have done in AEW, as per Jericho, who disclosed in an interview with “GamesHub” that AEW had interest in signing him. 

“There was a time when we were going after him when his contract was up,” revealed Jericho. “Could he be a good fit [in AEW]? Of course he would be. AJ’s a great performer and a great guy. But there is something to be said for the fact that when you’ve worked in the Vince McMahon system for a long time, you think differently. There are ways WWE runs their company, and there are ways AEW runs theirs. I’m not going to speak for AJ, but I don’t know why you’d retire in one place and then immediately go somewhere else.”

Styles has reiterated several times since his last match that he is done as an in-ring performer, but some, like Bully Ray, believe there’s no chance that his in-ring career is over. Jericho holds a similar view, stating that “The Phenomenal One” could join AEW and wrestle for Tony Khan.

“That said, I’m sure it’s always a possibility,” added Jericho.

Styles reportedly had several opportunities to join AEW, as per Dave Meltzer, and it seems that he has no interest in joining Khan’s promotion. Veterans like Ray and Jeff Jarrett think the former WWE Champion could wrestle again, with the former pitching a dream match in AEW and the latter stating that Styles is only out of the TKO orbit and will likely continue to wrestle. However, it seems that Styles has other plans as reports indicate that he has signed a new deal with WWE following his retirement, and will mentor and train future stars.
