With a back injury sidelining Jerry Lynn from Sunday’s TNA Hardcore Justice main-event, the promotion was forced to scramble to identify a new headline challenger for Rob Van Dam.
A number of names were mentioned in rumors, but when push came to shove, TNA seemed to go with the obvious option for the bout. Headlining tonight’s show will be RVD vs. Sabu.
“Thx for ur feedback. Just spoke to RVD. Looks like you get ur wish. RVD v Sabu tonight in main event. Lots of great surprises planned too,” Tweeted Dixie Carter, president of TNA.
