RVD returning to NOAH next month.
For the first time since 2011, Rob Van Dam wrestled in Japan. He partook in a six-man tag at CyberFight Festival in which he teamed with Yoshinari Ogawa and HAYATA to defeat Kaito Kiyomiya, Daisuke Harada and YO-HEY.
As Van Dam was doing his post-match presser, he was approached by NOSAWA Rongai, who issued a challenge to Van Dam for a Hardcore match. RVD accepted the challenge and said he’ll be back in NOAH come July for their Nippon Budokan show.
