Rob Van Dam has turned down WWE's latest contract offer. His current contract is set to expire ovet the summer; possibly in late July, but it hasn't been confirmed. However, until the deal expires, there's always a chance that the two sides could come to an agreement.

The creative team has been instructed to focus their attention on CM Punk and Elijah Burke so that if RVD does indeed leave the company, it won't be too strong of a blow to the ECW storylines.

that's such bullshit. I mean I dont understand why they feel the need to keep RVD in this faux ECW anyway. He deserves a way bigger push than fucking Kennedy. I hope he holds out and they give him an incentive to sign like a big push or something. Either that or go to TNA if it can stay afloat.
