Wrestling legend Rob Van Dam has divulged his thoughts on a potential run in All Elite Wrestling.

Rob Van Dam has cemented his legacy in the pro-wrestling realm with his incredible contributions. The Hall of Famer has secured multiple world titles across different promotions during his career. He is also credited with being the inspiration for numerous modern-day performers.

Speaking to NBC Sports Boston, Rob Van Dam discussed the possibility of performing in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

“Oh, it’d be awesome. I kind of feel like if they wanted me there, I would be there. They would make it so that I would want to be there. I mean, I’m on the front without having any, just being on the fence and not feeling hungry. Or either way, just, whatever happens, happens. I don’t know what they want to do, what their plan is, what their agenda is for all their talent now," said Van Dam.

The veteran then hinted that it'd be unfair to rule out his AEW arrival someday:

"So, I think they kind of got it right, so maybe they just, I don’t know. But to answer your question, honestly, I say never say never. Because I am still wrestling a lot more this year than I thought I would last year," he added. (H/T: Sescoops)

The veteran is still going strong on the independent circuit. This year, he made his debut for the notable Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah at the CyberFight Festival event.
