WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam set to face 21-year-old AEW star in a first-time-ever dream match

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam will wrestle 21-year-old star Dante Martin for the first time ever in a non-AEW event next month.

The two have similar wrestling styles as they both employ high-flying, death-defying maneuvers. RVD is a legend of the game as he is a former ECW, WWE, and TNA (now IMPACT Wrestling) world champion, alongside being a WWE Hall of Famer in 2021.

Meanwhile, Martin is one-half of the Top Flight tag team in AEW, alongside brother Darius. The young star is popular amongst fans because of his fast-paced approach and has challenged for the AEW World Championship against former champion Hangman Page.

Replying to a Twitter post from F1rst Wrestling, Martin expressed his joy upon the prospect of facing the Hall of Famer. The 21-year-old guaranteed that he and RVD will tear the house down this coming month.

"Words can’t explain how dope this match is. RVD is a legend that blazed the path for today’s stars.Two of the highest flyers anyone’s ever seen and they’re about to blow the roof off that place," Martin tweeted.
