Not long ago, I had a chance to interact with former WWE Spanish announcer- Hugo Savinovich. Mr. Savinovich is a huge fan of Rey Mysterio as a person and as a performer and was critical of the way he was being booked by WWE's creative team.
He had the following to say during the exclusive interview:
"Yes, I believe that WWE has not used Rey Mysterio the right way. And they have wasted a pure talent that is loved from India to Japan to Chile to Mexico to the United States to Canada. He translates into one of those wrestling warriors that people love to see and I believe that finally he's getting an opportunity to shine! And I hope that this Brock Lesnar feud is not just one battle."

A WWE Champion needs to be built over time. Of course, Rey Mysterio's legacy speaks for itself, but he's not been portrayed as a top star in recent times.
For Vince McMahon to make him WWE Champion out of the blue would have been weird. This was the right move!
