Rob Van Dam is a professional wrestling legend on his own rights. Back in the days, he brought a high-flying style to Monday Night Raw which earned him the right to be called Mr. Monday Night, too. Just a couple of years ago, he shifted big-time from his usual shtick while getting aligned with his real-life partner on WWE television.
It was in 2019 when Rob Van Dam returned to Impact Wrestling with Katie Forbes who is a professional wrestler and is actually married to him. Jennifer Barlow, a model, formed a third party to create a bizarre adultery love triangle that followed on Impact TV, each week. RVD has the most fun of his life during that timespan and many fans questioned what really happened to him.

During a recent edition of ‘Insight with Chris Van Vliet’, legendary Rob Van Dam revealed that social media played a huge part in his 2019 character change in IMPACT Wrestling (fka TNA). He then went into detail about how his wife made his way to Impact TV since the creative team actually followed social media feed and inserted that into the product.
Rob Van Dam says his wife loves to have fun
“I have definitely [been] showcasing since Katie Forbes, you know, for sure. And she’s a party girl, you know, she’s fun, and she’s awesome. We went on a Cardi B cruise, Katie loves Cardi B, which, if you’ve ever seen a Cardi B video and seen anything that Katie posts, then you shouldn’t be surprised. She loves shaking her a$$ and it makes her happy, so I’m happy that she’s happy.
And we saw Cardi B in Miami when we went, before the cruise, and then the next night, she was on the cruise, and we were on the boat. So it was pretty cool and this really big producer dude…as a fan, he VIP’d me and told me to come down and hang out in his jacuzzi. And we were, and it was just loaded with all these girls shaking their a$$es and stuff, and we posted a video of that,” Rob Van Dam continued.
“That went viral, and that’s when I learned how much IMPACT followed our social media because then IMPACT started writing that kind of stuff into the script, stuff about that or stuff about our friend Jennifer, and specifically putting stuff on there that nobody would know unless they follow us on social media.” (quotes courtesy WWFOldSchool)
