10 Legends WWE Must Bring Back RIGHT NOW (& How To Book Them)
7. Rey Mysterio
Everyone's favorite masked superstar, Rey Mysterio, has been on hiatus from WWE ever since he endured an on-screen beatdown at the hands of his old LWO teammate Santos Escobar on the November 10, 2023, episode of SmackDown. In reality, the Hall of Famer underwent a successful knee surgery with an expected return time of six to eight weeks.
If the calculations are correct, the former world champion might be ready to return to in-ring competition for WWE and can rekindle his rivalry with Santos Escobar. WWE revived the Legado Del Fantasma faction with Escobar, Angel Garza, Berto, and Elektra Lopez, which gives them the best opportunity to book a match between the two factions at WrestleMania 40.
Mysterio can return and reform his partnership with Carlito, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Zelina Vega to take on Escobar's new alliance at WrestleMania 40. WWE can also spice things up by having Wilde and Del Toro turn on Mysterio to reunite with Escobar and bring in Andrade and Bad Bunny on Mysterio's side for a potential six-on-five handicap tag team match at WrestleMania 40.
