This Thursday, Rob Van Dam will return to IMPACT Wrestling for an Extreme Rules match against the IMPACT World Tag Team Champions, The Lucha Brothers.
However, this will indeed be the beginning of a return for the ECW legend; RVD had a brief stint in the company from 2010 to 2013, which saw him he capture the TNA World Heavyweight and X-Division titles during his run. During an interview with Sporting News, Van Dam revealed that he and IMPACT Wrestling reached an agreement on a deal; however, he never goes into details on his newly signed contract:
"It looks like you are going to be seeing my face around for the foreseeable future. We have an agreement to where I will be sticking after the show on Thursday. It does have a beginning and an end, but they can extend, so this is something to start us off," said RVD.
"I had agreed to one match, and then we talked about and discussed doing their upcoming tapings after the show on Thursday and a couple of television tapings over the next few months. We looked at the schedule moving forward, and they asked if I was available. I told them I was. We will see how it goes. It’s a pretty friendly schedule, which has always been important to me. I want to be home more and on the road less. That’s still something I’ve done since I left WWE in 2007. Impact with their schedule and the position they want me to fill for my career seems like a perfect situation."
