Rob Van Dam Suffered Double Heel Fracture at MLW Battle Riot VII
As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam had suffered an ankle-related injury at Major League Wrestling’s Battle Riot VII event earlier this month in Long Beach, California.
In a recent episode of the 1 Of A Kind podcast, RVD provided an update confirming the injury and stated that he had suffered a double heel fracture during the Battle Riot match he competed in.
“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.
