Rey Mysterio Wants WWE Return After Lucha Underground Run
It could be sooner than you think.
Rey Mysterio could be heading back to the WWE soon. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter states "Friends of Mysterio in WWE believe he wont be long for Lucha Underground and will be back to WWE, but whether that is before or after season three is a question." Cash and creative are believed to be the key. Obviously Mysterio wants to maximise his earnings and have a good spot, but it is debatable if WWE can actually give him those opportunities. They've already moved Kalisto (a much cheaper talent) into Rey's old spot, and there isn't much value in a part time deal from the company perspective. They could put him on an Ambassador deal, but that's not really the sort of money that Mysterio would be after. Still, Mysterio has obviously found out that the grass isn't greener on the other side. Like Alberto Del Rio, he is after a return within a year of leaving. If WWE did want him back, it could all progress very quickly. It is believed that Mysterio could get out of his current deals, allowing a WWE return potentially very soon. It would definitely be a short term boost for fans, but as a long term prospect it is perhaps bad value. As he proved in his final WWE years, he isn't the Rey Mysterio of a decade ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMw7iOFxNVQ
