Rob Van Dam made a surprise appearance in the battle riot match at MLW Battle Riot VII, entering at number 40.
The bout came down to Matt Riddle and RVD at the end, with Riddle picking up the victory.
Speaking on his One Of A Kind podcast, RVD revealed he came away from the match with an injury.
“A lot of people don't know that I got hurt because it was the very last move in the night. But I went up to the top rope and Matt Riddle pushed me off and then I landed on my feet. Normally I kind of like, hug the guardrail and my weight goes into it. This one I must have misjudged it a little bit, and I just landed on my feet.
“Both heels blew. I thought that my ankles were sprained. I crawled out of there. I haven't been able to walk since. And so I got the x-rays, both heels broke. It's not something that I'm not used to, I kind of routinely kind of go through this thing, but, man, it definitely made me cancel a lot of plans that I had for the next few months and Wrestlecon and WrestleMania week, I made it through all the obligations.”
RVD noted that he and his wife Katie Forbes didn't to go to any of the fun parties during WrestleMania weekend, but that he did make all of his obligations.
Fightful wishes RVD the best in his recovery.
