According to Wrestlnigheadlines.com, RVD is scheduled to be on the Monday Night RAW episode the night after WrestleMania XXX, and while it was speculated that he'd make his WWE return that Monday it now seems as though he'll be at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans for the biggest show of the year.
Per the report, WWE has booked travel arrangements for RVD so that he will be with the company during WrestleMania XXX weekend. This is just speculation, but with the rumors of RVD's in-ring return being imminent and there being four open spots in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, it is possible RVD could be a part of that if the WWE chooses to add him to the card last-minute.

RVD returned to the WWE last July after a six-year stint away from the company on a limited-appearances deal that ran out in October, though it was widely expected he'd return in the spring per his deal. It is expected that his next stint will last several months.
RVD hasn't been at WrestleMania since the 23rd installment, where he teamed up with the ECW Originals to defeat the New Breed in an eight-man tag team match.
Wrestlingheadlines.com also reported that there is some negativity backstage regarding the induction of The Ultimate Warrior into the Hall of Fame. The Warrior has been a controversial figure and there was a lot of bad blood between him and a lot of the Superstars from the past.
The Warrior hasn't appeared in the WWE since 1996 and has bashed them publically throughout the years, though the two sides have made up. According to the report, several veterans are upset with the Warrior being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, and some don't believe he deserves it.
Warrior will be inducted alongside Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Razor Ramon, Carlos Colon, Paul Bearer, Lita and Mr. T on April 5 at the New Orleans Arena, regardless of how he's perceived backstage.
