Last night, WWE announced the return of Rob Van Dam at the MitB PPV. RVD was recently seen just a couple a months ago in TNA dropping the X-Division title to Kenny King, and has been gone from WWE since a one off appearance in 2009.

Who's happy to have the Van Daminator back in WWE?

Personally, I'm quite cold on the return. It's cool and all, but his TNA run sucked to the point I had no interest in him being on my TV. The good news is that he's got a great roster to work with who could do a better job of making him passable again.

As far as feuds go, a CM Punk feud writes itself and I wouldn't be surprised to see that at Summerslam. There's a couple of other good fresh match ups against the likes of Ziggler, Bryan and Cesaro so there should be enough to keep him busy. I just hope he isn't brought in at WWE title level, cause the likes of Cena and Punk are way above him at this stage.

I have never been an RVD guy so this really does nothing but sadden me. He is so blah now I would have much rather seen a Carlito or Shelton return. Actually a Justin Credible return would have made me as happy as a little school girl.

I haven't really liked RVD since 2006 when he beat Cena for the WWE Championship, I'm not really excited about his return when I could just have watched his mediocre wrestling on TNA not that long ago.

He's a better wrestler than Cena and as good as Punk, he could fight for the wwe title.

I think that's got to be the most ludacris comment I have ever read. He is nowhere near Cena's level, Cena is a far better wrestler than him. In my opinion, RVD is just a spot monkey. Sure he's good for cheap pops after big moves but nothing more than that. Cena is an all rounder. In my opinion RVD is a midcarder, a upper midcarder at best. Not good enough for the Main Event.

Put RVD with the right guy, and you get a decent match. Wrong guy though can sometimes result in a train wreck.

Sorry but I disagree. RVD as a wide arsenal of moves and can put on a great match. Watch an RVD vs Jerry Lynn match and tell me it was bad.

That's one match.

Cena has been in some of the best feuds in the past 10 years of the WWE. That proves he is a good wrestler. The whole Cena's five moves of death is a myth, he is a fantastic wrestler. Hence why he is a Main Eventer.

I agree that Cena is a great wrestler. Anyone who thinks he's not are assholes but RVD is better.
