Speaking in an interview with TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Rob Van Dam was asked about a potential in-ring return to World Wrestling Entertainment and a retirement tour. The 55-year-old noted that he was open to going back to the global juggernaut. He added that they had his number and could contact him anytime.

“I am open to consider anything. That’s part of being open-minded. I try not to shut anything out without at least considering it. And when it comes to something like that, they’ve got my number. They can talk to me. As you know, I’ll be appearing at WWE World, 4/20, remember? But we talk, and we can definitely have that conversation,” RVD said.

Rob Van Dam added that he did not like the idea of having a retirement match. So, he would not consider a retirement tour unless his perspective changed.

“But as far as a retirement tour, unless I change my perspective, which always happens, you always look at everything from a different place in life if you keep going. But the way I feel now is I don’t like the idea of labeling something retirement. I don’t really wanna know if I’m having my last match when I am,” RVD added. [H/T: WrestleTalk]

Rob Van Dam is open to managing a WWE NXT star

During an appearance on B4 The Bell, RVD was asked which WWE star he would manage if offered an opportunity.

The legendary star named Kelani Jordan as his pick. The veteran recalled working with the former NXT Women’s North American Champion for a backstage vignette.

“Kelani Jordan. Yeah. We did a really cool little backstage vignette in November or December when I was at NXT for a second. We both did the splits across the chairs, facing each other. So that’s my answer—I’ll be her manager,” RVD said.

It will be interesting to see if Rob Van Dam makes a return to WWE in any working capacity.
