Rob Van Dam Recalls Winning The WWE Title From John Cena

During a recent edition of his 1 Of A Kind podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam recalled winning the WWE Championship from John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006.

Cena was speared by a disguised Edge who also knocked out referee Nick Patrick. RVD executed the Five-Star Frog Splash on Cena, and Paul Heyman counted the pinfall to three, giving RVD the victory.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

RVD on what he remembers about the finish: “What I remember about that is [the referee counting] 1, 2, 3. Oh my God, that just happened. That’s how I felt. I’m on top of the world right now. The coveted, top seat in the industry. [It was like] ‘Woah,’ and I did it my way which meant so much more to me than winning it twenty times doing it their way.”

On being handed the WWE Title: “This is the way I remember it. He was like, ‘If you’re going to cry, then we’ll cry together. We’ll play it that way.’ Instead, I think I grabbed the belt and he went from almost crying to not crying just by playing it off of me.”
