WWE legend Rob Van Dam has been forced to admit he can never wrestle for the company again during a divorce settlement with his estranged wife Sonia.
Mr. Monday Night was one of the biggest stars in WWE after joining them for ECW in 2001 and is a former world champion.

However, it seems fans will never be able to witness The Whole Dam Show again inside the ring due to a medical condition.
According to The Blast, the 46-year-old is arguing that he should pay less than what Sonya is asking for in the financial settlement because he no longer lives the lifestyle or earns as much as he used to.
RVD claims that back in November 2016 he suffered concussion causing "visual impairment" which has now "disqualified me from working for the WWE" - seemingly meaning he is now retired from competing in Vince McMahon's company.
He says he has now "aged out" of the business because of injuries.

Van Dam, real name Robert Szatkowski, also added that his WWE merchandising contract expired in earlier this year in July and has not been renewed.
Because of these factors, he says his income is "substantially reduced" and believes Sonia is capable of earning her own income.

He goes on to ask the judge to consider his financial situation before deciding on what support he has to provide.
RVD married Sonia way back on September 6, 1998 before they separated in December 2015.
Van Dam has not been seen in a WWE ring since a brief year-long comeback with the promotion ended in 2014.
