It seems that former WWE and World Heavyweight champion Rey Mysterio is set to make his return at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, according to PWInsider. The big event takes place on Friday, April 27th from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and will air live on the WWE Network at 11am EST beginning with the Kickoff pre-show.
No official word yet on who Mysterio will be facing in Saudi Arabia or if he will be participating in the 50-Man Rumble match with others.
Rey was reportedly backstage for WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans and continues to talk with the company. There is still no word yet on a contract being reached for Rey to return full-time or part-time but he has agreed to work the Greatest Royal Rumble event.
Mysterio has been rumored to return to the company since he was a surprise entry in the Royal Rumble back in January. While the talks do continue, its possible that Rey’s injury delayed his full time (or part time) return to the company.
