“So I’m not under contract with AEW. I sign a per-match contract with them, which I’ve done five, maybe six times. And it’s only wrestling. The first time that I talked to Tony Khan about doing this, a factor was that I still have a WWE Legends deal. So my use to AEW would be limited — as far as, like, they can’t put me on video games, action figures, stuff like that. So you could say it’s limited on both ends — or you could say I got both ends going, best of both worlds. Or you could just say RVD does whatever he wants.”

I've always wondered about this bc I knew he still had a WWE deal considering he's in the video game every year

Yea... it's basically just (or mostly) about character licensing, I'd imagine :hmm:
