Rey Mysterio Confirms WWE Talks; Says He's Just Waiting On The Right Moment To Return
There have been rumors doing the rounds that Rey Mysterio might be set to return to the WWE ever since he was a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble, and now the Master of the 619 himself has confirmed it...
Rey Mysterio has confirmed that he is indeed very close to a WWE return.
Rumors have swirled ever since the legendary luchador was a surprise entrant in the last Royal Rumble, but it seems prior commitments have delayed his comeback. Now, Rey says he's just waiting for the company to give him the call.
Here's what the Master of the 619 had to say while appearing on the latest edition of Jim Ross' podcast:
“We started off with an anonymous call in January [about] coming back for the [Royal] Rumble, which was a big surprise to the fans because every time I go to a signing they say, ‘damn, Rey, I did not expect to see you there,’ so I guess that started off the whole conversation about possibly making a return.
We’re still in the mix of it. We’ve been going back and forth, talking about possibly returning this month and then this month, so the longer it extends, the more I get work outside. That’s my bread and butter. That’s what I do for a living. I’m just waiting for them to say, ‘now’. When they say, ‘now,’ if the time is right, let’s go!”
So there you have it. Expect to see arguably the greatest high-flyer of all time back in a WWE ring at some point over the next few months.
