RVD Has No Feud

Rob Van Dam came back a few weeks ago. The WWE knew for quite a while that he would be coming back. And who did they pick to have him work with in his first official feud since returning? Still waiting to find out.

This is a disappointment. Rob Van Dam is a former WWE Champion, is popular, is good in the ring, and probably does have several options to enter some kind of feud. And yet, just random matches. You can criticize him for his mic skills, but that is really no excuse for not developing some kind of feud for him. I am not really complaining because I personally really want to see him feud with someone in particular, but because I feel they are dropping the ball here. They hype him so much that he is going to return, then they just let things fizzle out so easily. I would expect that kind of thing from TNA.

Whom should he be feuding with? Randy Orton was originally the choice I would have made. That was before Orton's recent push. How about have RVD feud with Curtis Axel over the Intercontinental Championship? If it won't be Miz, how about RVD get a title shot for Summerslam. This can also transition to some kind of tag match down the road. Combine CM Punk's feud with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman with RVD's title feud against Curtis Axel. RVD and Heyman definitely have a history, so RVD would fit into that story. There is also the possibility of throwing him into some type of multi-man match at Summerslam for the World's Heavyweight Championship. I won't spoil who gets the title shot. I will talk about that later on. But I will say that adding an extra body or two would not have been a bad idea. No one says RVD has to win a title, but giving him a good feud would make sense after his hyped return.
