WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam has shown interest in honing the talent of tomorrow and welcoming them into the world of pro wrestling. Speaking on his 1 Of A Kind podcast, Van Dam shared that he’d love to do more with WWE from a talent development standpoint.
“I have some interest… I could see [myself] doing that, especially with the big welcome vibe. You know, like, ‘You’re welcome here anytime.’ That really encourages me.”
WWE’s newest tactic to bring new talent on board is WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats.) The A&E-produced show will see wrestling legends team with young contestants, eager to earn a contract with WWE. These contestants (the titular Future Greats,) will participate in weekly matches, and learn the behind-the-scenes workings of the wrestling business. Mentors confirmed for the show include Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, The Undertaker, and Mickie James.

Van Dam has made several sporadic appearances for WWE in recent months, including being at SmackDown’s return to the USA Network in September. The next month, the WWE Hall of Famer appeared in NXT to share that he’d be at the following week’s show in the 2300 Arena. Inside the legendary ECW venue, RVD backed Je’Von Evans, who’d defeat Wes Lee on the night.
Whether fans see Rob Van Dam as part of WWE LFG, that remains to be seen, but the former WWE & ECW World Champion is certainly interested in doing more.
