Apparently Rob Van Dam lost the World Heavyweight Title on last night’s broadcast of TNA iMPACT! and is taking time off because he signed a contract with TNA for a specific number of dates for this year and partly because of using him on live events, they are running low on the number of available 2010 dates. This was also the case for Mick Foley, who recently returned to television.

TNA chose to have RVD take some time off with an injury angle and hold the tournament for the World Title to have some kind of build for his return.
