Former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio made his return to the WWE last year after he signed a two-year deal with the sports entertainment company.
Before signing a new deal, Mysterio made a few appearances for WWE earlier in 2018. He made a surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble in January.
He was also at April’s Greatest Royal Rumble from Saudi Arabia in April. He is featured as a pre-order bonus character for the WWE 2K19 video game. This all-but-guaranteed he would be returning before the October 9th release date.
The future WWE Hall of Famer recently did an interview with Sohail Malik of Al Jazeera where he spoke about a wide range of topics. This is where he talked about what he hopes to leave behind in the WWE when he decides to retire from the business.
“I want to leave something behind. A lot of fans will still be talking about Rey Mysterio after I am gone. But my purpose isn’t just to leave memories behind,” Mysterio said. “My purpose is to help those up-and-coming Latino superstars that are bringing in this lucha libre style, and help them revolutionise the sport.”
