Zach Linder of WWE.com recently conducted an interview with returning WWE star Rob Van Dam, and when the question of who contacted who came up regarding the return, RVD had the following to say:
"I called WWE. Triple H was the guy I was talking to. And I sent Booker a text. It wasn’t a definite deal until two weeks at the most before the videos started running. Once I got my starting date of Money in the Bank, that made it real."
