Rob Van Dam: Winning The WWE Championship Was Vindication For Me Sticking To My Guns And Beliefs

Rob Van Dam is happy he went on the journey that he did.

On his podcast, One Of A Kind, the former Money in the Bank winner turned WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam, reflected on the moment he cashed in and had weeks to prepare for the biggest match in his WWE career.

“I felt indestructible,” Van Dam said. “There’s never been a crowd exactly like that. The fans were so great, and why it was so awesome is it was vindication for me sticking to my guns and following my own beliefs, sticking to my own values through [15 years] of people trying to change me.”

RVD would go on to defeat John Cena in the main event of One Night Stand where he became the new WWE Champion under the ECW brand.
