WWE: RVD Out 'Indefinitely'; One Night Stand PPV Dark Match; Updated Raw Preview
WWE posted the following this afternoon regarding RVD's 'condition':
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After suffering his second concussion in less than a week at One Night Stand, Rob Van Dam will now be out of action indefinitely, WWE.com has learned.
Last night, RVD competed in a Stretcher Match against Randy Orton with a concussion. He somehow managed to win the battle, but Orton may have won the war with a post-match attack that included a DDT on the concrete floor and then a vicious punt to his head.
In a challenge on Raw last week, Orton gave Van Dam the concussion and then subsequently vowed to make the ECW Original suffer the same fate as Shawn Michaels – leave One Night Stand on a stretcher. Orton may have ended HBK’s career last month at Judgment Day after taking advantage of his previous head injury.
It has been rumored for months that Van Dam was going to take time off from ring action to allow nagging injuries to heal. It now appears that he will have no other choice. There are also rumors that he may never be able to return to the ring.
Dark match from WWE One Night Stand PPV had Santino Marella def Chris Masters.
Here is your updated preview for tonight's edition of WWE Raw:
After a night of Extreme Rules at One Night Stand, Raw Superstars will arrive in Tampa, Fla., in an extremely uncomfortable situation, awaiting their uncertain fates as the WWE Draft looms closer – just seven days away.
John Cena successfully defended his WWE Championship against The Great Khali in a Pinfalls Count Anywhere Match, pinning the giant’s shoulders for the first time in his career. Who will be next to challenge the Chain Gang commander?
The Hardys arrive in Tampa as the World Tag-Team Champions after successfully defending the titles in a high-impact ladder match against The World’s Greatest Tag. A post-match scuffle in the trainer’s room between these teams at One Night Stand showed these two teams still have unfinished business.
Finally, the proof was in the pudding for Candice Michelle, who nearly drowned the Women’s Champion, Melina, in their Pudding Match. Candice made the champion tap out at One Night Stand in the chocolate goo, but will she be able to do it again if she’s given a title opportunity in the future?
Don’t miss all the action on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
