Lucha Libre insider “Dr. Lucha” Steve Sims discussed the situation with Rey Mysterio on Friday’s Wrestling Observer Live. Sims said that Rey will not be working with AAA going forward due to the issues with his pay and his health. Also, Rey’s best friend Konnan is no longer the booker for them.
Sims said that he suspects that Mysterio will be back in WWE by SummerSlam or earlier. There was a lot of hype for Mysterio when he returned to AAA last year after his WWE run but things went downhill towards the end of 2015 and the pay issues are the root of the problems.
Sims said that he and Alberto Del Rio must have had quite the shock when they returned to AAA last year and realized that the money they would be making was nothing near the 6 figures that they made while in WWE.
