WrestleMania week is a huge week not just for WWE, but for all of professional wrestling. Many companies make their way to WrestleMania’s host city to hold their own events, and Impact Wrestling will be holding United We Stand this week.
Former WWE and TNA World Champion Rob Van Dam is set to make his return at the event when he teams up with Sabu to take on Pentagon Jr. and Fenix, and he recently told Sporting News that he signed a new deal that will see him stick with Impact for a while.
“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. 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.”
Van Dam emphasized that at this point in his career he’s interested in spending more time at home which is why the Impact Wrestling schedule works for him.
“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. Hopefully it will be mutually beneficial, and we will see “The Whole F’N Show” back on television. Let’s see how all these new guys matchup to me. I’m not there to compete with the guys who have stolen all my moves (laughs). I’m pretty much there to be myself.”
