Rob Van Dam made his AEW in-ring debut on last Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.
This came after he made his promotional debut in a segment to set up the match. RVD lost to Jack Perry for the FTW Championship after Perry won with a low blow and a roll up.
Speaking on a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, RVD praised Perry for his in-ring work. He said,
“I thought he was really good. I saw him when he was training. When I lived in LA, Katie [Katie Forbes] would train at Santino Brothers and sometimes I would go there with her, mostly just stretch, and Jungle Boy was there, training and stuff. Obviously, he’s come a long way since then. He’s comfortable out there, smooth, timing. Boom. He cheated, bro, [laughs] what do you want me to say? Also, I met him when he was a little kid when I met his dad. Luke was wrestling fan, so when we were at the Staples Center, it was probably 2001, I remember meeting Luke Perry and his little kid.”
