Basically, they say to watch Raw to find out while sort of burying him by saying he hasn't won a PPV match since his return (actively ignoring the fact that RVD won at SummerSlam by DQ).

Welp, RVD will either be a victim of Alberto Del Rio's new-found aggression(we've never seen Alberto Del Rio this aggressive!) or HHH will send him home in the interest of.............what's best for business.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Oh boy, broken arm. Hooray.

[BigWill]

If they were going to do an injury angle, they probably wouldn't bother announcing beforehand that he might be taking some time off.

[audiencewatching]

Do we have todo this every 90 days? Just have him disappear

[Sparkybob]

Oh no RVD has lost his smoke smile.

[Deleted]

Maybe Kane will assault him with his new spiked bat "Linda"

[cabbageboy]

What is the point of him being on TV this week? I assumed he was written off at the PPV with the bad arm. I smell some sort of goofy angle tonight or on SD. And what is with that article anyway? Good grief, it's not like he has been jobbing massively all over the place. He actually won by DQ at both SS and NoC.

Haha, that article man. They are really not happy that he didn't sign another deal to keep appearing. Making him out to be a whiny, ineffective quitter.

[Juice]

damnit janice

[cabbageboy]

Again how can they be mad at him when they themselves signed him to the deal in the first place? Seriously that article is one of the pettiest things WWE has done in a while.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

RVD out, Goldust in. That's trading up as far as I'm concerned.

[Crimson]

The Self Destruction of RVD, coming to DTV near you.

Did they mention this?

During Ricardo's entrance, they explained that RVD was taking a break as, while he's physically okay, he's burnt out mentally and spiritually. They also made sure not to bury him, which makes this article even weirder.

[Deleted]

So he was meant to show up on Raw but he didn'? :s




And how is he appearing on NXT this week if he has already left

this

if he continued this schedule for the next 3-6 months, you can kiss his career goodbye afterwards. dude is 42 iirc, he needs to HEAL

[________ has left the building]

RVD would still be there if WWE would recognize his medical marijuana card as legit prescription. Going green costs more money in fines than it did the last time he was in WWE.

[Bub (BLM)]

I like how the article says that he lost to Dean Ambrose despite the fact that he had Ambrose beaten and then won by DQ after the Shield interfered.

I'm waiting for the statement from ArmVD.
