Samoa Joe is the most obvious pick for a number of reasons. Joe was the previous champion, and defeated Mysterio in quick fashion at WrestleMania and seemed destined for a dominant reign with the belt before shockingly losing his title to Mysterio.
Joe's momentum really took a hit with that loss and while it looked as though his and Mysterio's program, also involving Mysterio's son, was set to continue, Joe winning back his belt and picking up where he left off seems like a good course of action with Joe being a top-tier talent in the company and yet someone who is a long way from the main event scene at present.

Ideally, if Mysterio is capable of doing so, having Joe destroy him in a quick safe squash is the best course of action here. Joe can leverage his weight into the match after using Mysterio's son as a pawn before quickly making Rey pass out with his submission. Mysterio's son can then be a thorn in Joe's side for a number of months before Rey is ready to return to action and finish off their program.
