WWE Hall of Famer and ECW legend Rob Van Dam is backstage at tonight’s edition of NXT, adding major excitement to what is already shaping up to be a highly anticipated episode.

According to Fightful Select, RVD is present at the WWE Performance Center just days after the Halloween Havoc Premium Live Event. Corey Brenna reports, “WWE Hall Of Famer Rob Van Dam is backstage at tonight’s NXT at the WWE Performance Center.”

Van Dam, known for his high-flying style and cult following from his days in ECW and WWE, has been making sporadic appearances at wrestling events in recent months, thanks to his current WWE Legends deal.

RVD’s presence at NXT has sparked immediate speculation, especially after Je’Von Evans—who has made waves in NXT—publicly expressed his desire to face the legend. Last week’s episode even featured Evans with a photo of RVD behind him, teasing a potential showdown between the two.

With NXT continuing to establish itself on the CW Network and gearing up for a special event at the iconic ECW Arena next week, Van Dam’s involvement is fueling chatter among fans. While no official match or appearance has been announced yet, Van Dam’s backstage presence could hint at a future in-ring encounter, possibly with Evans.

RVD remains one of the most influential figures in wrestling, thanks to his tenure in ECW, multiple WWE championships, and his signature laid-back attitude that still resonates with fans today. If a match with Je’Von Evans comes to fruition, it could be a nostalgic treat for longtime wrestling fans while giving NXT’s rising talent a chance to shine alongside a living legend.

The October 29 episode of of NXT promises to be a packed show, featuring the fallout from Halloween Havoc and setting the stage for future storylines. But with RVD in the building, the excitement levels have skyrocketed, and fans will be keeping a close eye on any further developments involving the former ECW champion.
