Throughout the illustrious wrestling career of Rob Van Dam, Sonya has remained as his constant supporter. She often traveled with him for various wrestling events and was spotted at ringside on multiple occasions. Unfortunately in 2008, Sonya was detected with cancer. To be with his wife in the hard times, Van Dam didn’t hesitate to take a hiatus from his wrestling career, even when he was in his peak. Sonya has now fully recovered from the disease.
Van Dam now wrestles in the independent circuit only, that too at rare occasions. His last match was in October 2015, for Pro Wrestling Syndicate in New Jersey, where he was defeated by John Morrison. Till now, the former TNA and WWE World Champion has decided to not join any major wrestling promotion after his second stint with WWE came to an end in late 2014.
