After months of contract negotiations, Rey Mysterio is finally set to make his full-time return to WWE as part of the SmackDown Live roster later today. He'll be squaring off with United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura for a chance to compete in the Crown Jewel World Cup and it was recently revealed that the Master of the 619 has actually signed a two-year deal to return to the company.
Now, WWE has confirmed Mysterio for a number of big events including the non-televised Starrcade show, Survivor Series, and Tables Ladders and Chairs. Clearly, he will be a full-time member of the roster and seeing as he appears to be in better shape than ever before, that's no bad thing.
