WWE Concerned About Mexico Events Without Del Rio & Mysterio

World Wrestling Entertainment is making their upcoming Mexico tour in October a big deal because they are worried about crowd reactions. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the reason WWE is loading up the show is because they are concerned about the insinuations of racism due to what happened when Alberto Del Rio left the company last year. Also, the absence of Rey Mysterio is another cause of concern. Del Rio departed WWE in August 2014 after a social media employee (who no longer works there) made a racist remark towards Del Rio, which led to Del Rio slapping him and eventually led to Del Rio leaving the company after coming to an agreement with management. Mysterio left WWE in February 2015 due to not being used regularly as well as a number of injuries although there's a possibility he could return to the company in the future.

Some of the big names scheduled for October 16 in Meridia, October 17 in Mexico City and October 18 in Monterrey include The Undertaker, Ric Flair as the guest General Manager and Chris Jericho along with their regular roster of talent. For Undertaker, the big selling point is that it's first time wrestling in Mexico after five years. There's no word on who The Undertaker might face at those shows in Mexico, but it would be smart if they were short matches that allowed him to stay fresh. Other advertised talent for the Mexico tour include Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and the Lucha Dragons.
