Let's rank the 5 best legend appearances from this week's WWE Raw Reunion special, in order of impact and sheer shock value.
#5 Rob Van Dam
The idea of Rob Van Dam making a surprise appearance at the WWE RAW Reunion special would have seemed like a foolish prediction just this morning, but the former WWE and ECW Champion did, in fact, appear on the show tonight.
While RVD's appearance was standard fare for the show, the shock of a currently contracted Impact Wrestling talent appearing on WWE TV was palpable. Additionally, WWE hilariously mentioning RVD's regular use of marijuana with a joke about Mr. Monday Night needing eyedrops, was a page right out of the Attitude Era playbook.
It was great to see RVD back in WWE, even if for just one night, and it certainly gives Impact Wrestling something to talk about, as the company was quick to point out RVD's appearance on social media by Tweeting,
It's worth stressing that RVD's appearance on WWE RAW tonight was a one-off deal, and he has not re-signed with the company. Van Dam remains under contract with Impact Wrestling and his deal lasts through this year's Bound For Glory PPV.
