RVD Signs New WWE Contract, SummerSlam Main Event

[Joe Kerr]

WWE superstar Rob Van Dam has signed a short-term contract extension with the company. RVD is one of the most underutilized talents in WWE today and for months there has been speculation as to whether or not he would stay with WWE after his contract expired this month. The contact he signed is only for a few months and was used so he can remain on the active roster while negotiations regarding his future continue.

SummerSlam is just around the corner and WWE is still deciding who they want to have challenge the new WWE Champion, Bradshaw. JBL and Eddie Guererro headlined two back-to-back SmackDown! PPV shows and the matches were very well received backstage. Having Eddie get screwed out of his title at the Great American Bash left the door open for another rematch between the two competitors at SummerSlam. There are many that expect The Undertaker to get thrown into the mix somehow, and it is not unlikely that we see JBL vs. Eddie Guererro vs. The Undertaker for the WWE Championship.

It should also be noted that Kurt Angle is training for a SummerSlam return, we will see if he is in ring shape by August and if this has any effect on the show's main event.
