Rob Van Dam was a surprise entrant in Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view and drew a tremendous pop from the crowd in Detroit. RVD was number 25 of 30 to enter the ring during this special appearance. He was eliminated by Chris Jericho, but not before delivering a Five-Star Frog Splash to Randy Orton.

After the show RVD appeared briefly as a guest on the WWE Universe live blog of the pay-per-view. He confirmed that the Royal Rumble was a one time gig and said, “I’m not here full time by my own choice.” He got a call on Friday and was able to work in the last minute appearance, but he appreciates having the time to be at home in California with his wife Sonya, who is battling cancer.

RVD is still working on RVD TV and RVD Radio, and will be filming an action movie in February called Wrong Side of Town. You can keep up with all the latest on Rob Van Dam on his official site.
