10 Rey Mysterio Dream Matches In WWE And 5 That Already Happened Elsewhere
12. Ricochet
Mysterio has actually faced off with Ricochet on a number of occasions when Rey was away from WWE. The matchup between the two was one of the most anticipated dream bouts for fans everywhere. In many ways, Ricochet may prove to be the Mysterio of the modern era if he continues to thrill audiences with his unique offense and can continue to break boundaries between weight classes.
Not only did the two competitors meet in various independent promotions throughout the United States, as well as for Defiant Wrestling in the UK, but they also wrestled each other on national television as part of Lucha Underground. Mysterio made waves when he joined the LU universe during their second season. As part of the second-ever Ultima Lucha event, Rey battled Prince Puma -- Ricochet’s masked alter-ego and the main hero of the program in its first few seasons.
The twenty-plus minute match proved to be even more than fans had dreamed of. Both masked stars unleashed their full arsenal of innovative maneuvers, but in the end, Mysterio captured the win. In a show of respect -- and perhaps a passing of the torch -- Rey embraced with Ricochet following the bout.
