WWE To Celebrate Rey Mysterio's 20th Anniversary With Company At MSG Raw
Legendary high-flier debuted July 25, 2002 on SmackDown versus Chavo Guerrero.
Just a month after celebrating John Cena's 20th anniversary with WWE, the company looks to be recognizing another longtime superstar later this month.
During Raw Monday night, Damian Priest mentioned that Rey Mysterio will hit his 20-year mark with WWE in two weeks, during Raw at Madison Square Garden. Priest referred to it as Rey being with WWE for 20 years, which isn't accurate, considering he left the company in February 2015 and didn't return for good until September 2018.
Still, marking 20 years since his WWE debut is a remarkable feat for the legendary luchador, who has overcome his small stature to become one of the biggest presences in the company post-Attitude Era.
Priest made mention of the upcoming July 25th celebration while he and Finn Balor were trying to recruit Rey's son Dominik to join Judgement Day, a continuation of last week's effort. The duo have pointed out that Rey is older and has nothing left to teach Dominik or to offer him.
A split of the father-son team has long been rumored, and with Judgement Day making strong overtures to Dom, the younger Mysterio turning on his dad during a 20th-anniversary celebration in WWE's home arena MSG would be about as good of a moment as you could get.
