As of Monday Night Raw this week, Rob Van Dam has yet to be cleared to return to the ring following an undisclosed injury which kept him off the WWE Battleground card.
WWE made the decision to mention that RVD would be facing Seth Rollins on Raw this week just to keep RVD’s name in people’s minds, however there was no intention of RVD actually wrestling on the show. RVD did note on Twitter, however, that he is headed to Australia with the WWE crew scheduled for the tour, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will actually wrestle at any of the events.
