Rob Van Dam isn’t sure if he would return to WWE now Vince McMahon is no longer in power.
Vince McMahon retired in July of this year after a litany of settlements were revealed regarding his sexual misconduct over the years. After his retirement, Triple H has took over creative duties in WWE.
While speaking on Rene Dupree’s “Cafe de Rene” podcast, RVD made it clear he isn’t sure about going to WWE shows after Vince McMahon’s retirement.
Do I like that Vince is no longer with WWE? No,” Van Dam said. “I personally don’t think there’s anything in it for me because Vince was a friend and there’s no reason for me to believe at this point that the current guy that’s running things has any more interest in me than Vince did. For those reasons, just from my selfish perspective, I think [it was] better for me when Vince was there.
When they’re in town, I don’t even know who to visit,” Van Dam continued. “If they were in Vegas, if I stopped by normally it would have been to see Vince, maybe Booker [T], maybe Paul [Heyman] if they were there, maybe even Johnny Laurinaitis, not so much that I would go there just to say hi to him because he’s political like everyone else.

Time will tell if Triple H and the new WWE regime will call Rob Van Dam back to WWE but for now Van Dam continues to make sporadic appearances on the independent circuit.
