Get Married Brehs wrestling edition: RVD's wife files for divorce

Rob Van Dam's wife is tapping out of their marriage -- filing divorce docs to end their 17-year union and asking the judge to restore her old name, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sonya Szatkowski filed court docs in L.A. citing irreconcilable differences. The two married in 1998 but Sonya claims they separated back in December. They have no minor children.

Sonya is asking for spousal support and says Rob should have to pay her attorney's fees. She's also asking the judge to restore her name from Szatkowski to Delbeck.

We spoke with Sonya who tells us the two are still on relatively good terms -- they're still talking -- but she just decided the marriage wasn't working anymore.

She added, "It’s a private time. It’s a hard thing for me to even talk about."

It's especially sad considering Rob and Sonya's love story was pretty well known -- Sonya often traveled with RVD during his wrestling career so she could be ringside for his matches.

In fact, Rob famously put his WWE career on hold to be with Sonya after she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2007. She has since recovered.

17 years and quit to be with her during her cancer recovery

People get tired of each other after a certain amount of time it happens most people arent going to be married for 50 years.

"She just decided the marriage wasn't working anymore"

but still expects to get paid on a monthly basis despite not having children together

and our outdated, anti-male/pro-female divorce system still allows for it in 2016

 

[The Rainmaker]

No kids and you want alimony?

Why don't you pay for your own pot?

Not only that but she was Rob to pay her attorney fees as well? Only thing RVD needs to pay for are her medical bills after he do this to her in front of the judge

Go coast to coast in that courtroom
