Rob Van Dam recently revealed why WWE scrapped plans for a romantic storyline between him and Stephanie McMahon.

In 2001, during WWE’s Invasion storyline, RVD worked closely with McMahon, who was playing the on-screen owner of ECW.

Fans anticipated a potential romance angle between the two, but it never materialized.

Speaking on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, RVD shared that his ex-wife was highly insecure about his career and strongly opposed the idea of the romantic storyline with McMahon.

Prioritizing his marriage, RVD chose not to go through with the angle, valuing his relationship over his work in wrestling.

“They wanted to do a romantic angle with me and Stephanie McMahon, and my shoot wife was like the most insecure person on the planet.

She hated it, totally didn’t trust me being on the road already, didn’t trust anyone I worked with.

It was one of those horror stories which a lot of people can relate to, and I prioritized in trying to make my marriage work above my job.”

Although the storyline never happened, fans continue to speculate how WWE would have executed the angle, leaving it as a ‘what if’ scenario.
