Seth Rollins pays tribute to 51-year-old legend during entrance at Extreme Rules 2022

Former world champion Seth Rollins paid tribute to WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam during his entrance at Extreme Rules 2022.

The Visionary featured in the main event of Extreme Rules, which saw him lock horns with Matt Riddle inside a Fight Pit. The match also had UFC legend Daniel Cormier as the Special Guest Referee. However, The Architect's gear and entrance stole the show even before he stepped inside the ring.

Before walking down the ramp, Rollins paid tribute to iconic WWE Superstar Rob Van Dam. He borrowed the legendary wrestler's signature pose while donning gear inspired by that of RVD.

Additionally, Rollins paid another homage to RVD during the match when he climbed up the cage and hit the pose as "Rob. Van. Dam." chants echoed across the arena.
