Van Dam and Eddie Guerrero went head to head in 2002 in what is not spoken very much about these days. This feud took place at a time when both men were at the peak of their powers.

The two men were so good with each other that it seemed like they couldn’t put a foot wrong. It was this feud that helped Rob Van Dam start his journey to reach the great heights of the WWE.
When ECW was enjoying a renaissance in the mid-2000s, Van Dam was chosen to be the face of the company and standing in his way of making it to the top was none other than John Cena. Be it on the mic or in the ring, both wrestlers complemented each other very well. They represented their brands with pride and had a great match in front of a crazy crowd in New York. The rivalry was not as personal as others and that’s why Van Dam and Cena fought over ideologies and it would be a notable stop on the careers of both, especially for newly-crowned WWE and ECW champion RVD.
