It was announced tonight that Rey Mysterio has been moved to WWE SmackDown.
During tonight’s show, Mysterio went up to Triple H backstage and told him that he could not be around his son because he doesn’t want to fight him.
Mysterio told Hunter that he wants to quit the company but Triple H brought him into his office and worked out a deal. It was announced later in the show that Mysterio is now officially part of the blue brand.
Mysterio also won a Fatal 4-Way match to become the number 1 contender for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship. It looks like this is being done to give time off for the storyline until they resume it for WrestleMania season.
BREAKING NEWS: @reymysterio has officially struck a deal with @TripleH to be moved to the #SmackDown roster.
