RVD (Rob Van Dam) has made a few AEW appearances this year and is open to making more select appearances.
The WWE Hall of Famer made his promotional debut when he confronted “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry as fellow former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn introduced him. This led to their match being booked on Dynamite in early September, where RVD lost.
RVD later worked a tag team match with Hook, where they beat Angelo Parker & Matt Menard on the September 23 Collision. RVD and Hook teamed again on last week’s Dynamite, where they went over The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver).
While speaking on his latest podcast, RVD thinks being in a tag team with Hook makes a lot of sense.
“Of course [being open to more AEW appearances]. Everyone’s super cool there. And now that I got a little bit of a situation as far as teaming up with Hook, I feel like there’s more reason than ever to have me there. So I feel good about that, you know, as opposed to I don’t expect to ever hear from them again.”
RVD noted that if he continues to team with Hook in AEW, he likes the name Smoke and Choke, a name he got from a fan on Twitter.
“Man, I almost wish I looked this up to give the guy credit. I’m stealing it and it’s so good. I would actually probably want to use it. And anyway, so I had people on social media threw out some ideas and stuff, and the one that I f**king loved and that stuck with me. Are you ready for it? Tag team name, RVD and Hook. Ready? Smoke and Choke. Thanks, random anonymous suggester.”
