On tonight’s 200th episode of AEW Dynamite, former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam made his debut in All Elite Wrestling.
FTW Champion “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry called out former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn to face him in the ring.
Jerry came out and said he’s not going to compete as he wasn’t cleared by the doctors and didn’t want to commit child abuse, but Perry could face a friend of his that was also in ECW.
This friend was revealed to be WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam. He came out to his ECW theme song “Walk” by Pantera.

Jack tried to attack RVD, with a Steel Chair, but it almost backfired on him:

As we noted earlier today, Fightful Select reported that AEW wants RVD to face Jack Perry at either All In at Wembley Stadium or the following week at the All Out PPV in Chicago.
It looks like they are not waiting that long, and this match will take place on next week’s episode of Dynamite.
While speaking to Renee Paquette backstage, RVD said he might retire the FTW Title after winning it next week:

Whether the company wants to use RVD in a full-time role or just this one match is unknown yet.
