Rey Mysterio’s contract was set to expire weeks ago, according to the latest Wrestling Observer newsletter. Rey got word that Vince McMahon renewed it for one year even though there was no option for that in his contract. However, WWE has the right to freeze contracts when performers are injured so what happened was that since Rey has missed so much time due to injury the company felt that he owed them time so he is renewed through May of next year. Rey has a good downside guarantee so he makes good money whether he’s used or not. It’s questionable as to how he’ll be used because the company may not be so quick to invest too much time into him since he’s very injury prone. Rey is currently out with a hand injury.
