10 Things WWE Must Do In The Post-WrestleMania Season

7. Kalisto: The New Rey Mysterio?

Rey Mysterio, the most successful masked wrestler ever, left WWE on February 26 after his contract expired. It ended a thirteen year run with the company, a run that made Mysterio a millionaire (and made the company a lot more). WWE tried to prepare for Mysterio's departure in 2012 by hiring Mexican superstar Mistico and rebranding him Sin Cara. It was, of course, a monumental flop due to Cara's constant botches, injuries and Wellness Policy violations. Could WWE be trying to fill the void left by Mysterio with recent NXT call-up Kalisto? The 28-year-old, who gained attention for his breathtaking performances as Samuray del Sol on the independent circuit, was in WWE developmental since the summer of 2013 but has recently been performing on Superstars and Main Event, tagging with (the second incarnation of) Sin Cara. The diminutive high-flyer made his full roster debut on Raw, picking up the win in an eight man tag team match. Kalisto, who looked very impressive and was over with the crowd, was the star of the match. He has a chance to be a huge star, if promoted correctly. Can Kalisto be the next hispanic sensation that WWE so desperately seeks? He could, but WWE needs to strike while the iron is hot and showcase Kalisto to the best of his abilities.
