Rob Van Dam has had a very successful wrestling career and he’s captured numerous championship belts. At WrestleMania 22, RVD managed to win the Money in the Bank contract and he used it to set up a WWE Championship match with John Cena at ECW One Night Stand in 2006.
The crowd reaction that John Cena received during the match was memorable to say the least, and during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Rob Van Dam explained why it’s his favorite WWE match.
“The one match would probably be when I beat John Cena at ECW One Night Stand and won the championship belts. Which if they asked me, I’d bring it up. If they asked me what my favorite match was, [I’d mention it] because first off, the match itself was in my opinion, great.
“I loved the match. Obviously Cena is great. He was great with that crowd. The crowd was incredible. One of a kind crowd.
“[It was an] irreplaceable moment, besides all of that, it’s like ‘What was my story, my build up, going into that particular match?’ Everything since 96. Maybe even before that, if you were to add the history. So for those reasons. Me and every fan in that building, we were all fighting for what I believed in, in my heart, and what got me all the way up to that point. That’s why they all wanted to see the match go the way it did and see Cena go down, or they would riot.”
