3 Reasons why fans shouldn't be shocked if Rey Mysterio defeats Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series

#2. A final run for Rey Mysterio as WWE Champion

John Cena ended Rey Mysterio's WWE title reign in under two hours.

During his run with WWE from the early 2000s to early 2010s, Rey Mysterio was able to etch several amazing title runs. Mysterio is a multi-time World Champion, has captured the United States Title, Intercontinental Title, and Tag Team Titles numerous times. 'The Ultimate Underdog' also won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22, defeating both Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Match. While Mysterio's climb to world championship status has always been memorable, his title reigns - not so much.

WWE Creative treated Mysterio as an easy target for larger opponents even while champion. Both of his World Heavyweight Championship reigns ended prematurely, but his lone WWE Championship reign was even more tragic.

After enduring a tournament to declare the WWE Champion, Mysterio was named the winner after pinning The Miz on RAW. However, John Cena challenged Mysterio for a WWE Championship match that very night. Poor Mysterio stood no chance against the Cenation Leader and lost his WWE title a mere two hours after capturing it.

At 44 years old, Rey Mysterio is not getting any younger and he even recently considered retirement before being convinced to alter course by his son Dominic. WWE could be thinking about rewarding the legend with one last WWE Championship reign before the veteran calls it a day. With Mysterio receiving heavy crowd support as of late, WWE would put the strap on the legendary luchador.
