Speaking on his 1 Of A Kind podcast, RVD discussed how the appearance came together.

"How about that. RVD just pops up wherever he feels like. It's part of being the Whole F'n Show. It was an invite that happened, not with a lot of notice at all. It was awesome to be there. They showed some legends in the crowd. It was cool to be part of that. Katie came because, one, she loves WWE. Two, she loves RVD. It was cool to have her by my side as well. Otherwise, I would have had my arm around Teddy Long or something," he said,

Asked how much notice he had, RVD replied, "It was one day notice to fly out. Wednesday, 'Sorry about the short notice. You have to leave tomorrow. Are you available on Friday?' I was."

He noted he shared a locker room with the other male legends in attendance and said, "I did some interviews for some...I don't know if it's going to be a DVD. I think it might be a Netflix release. I'm not really sure. We all did. We all took turns doing interviews."

Teddy Long, Booker T, Ron Simmons, and more were among the other legends who were part of the WWE SmackDown on USA premiere.
