#1. Hope isn't true: Rey Mysterio's contract status

An eye for an eye

Was Extreme Rules the final match of Rey Mysterio's in WWE? We can't be sure, but as of this writing, it seems to be that way. It was no secret that Mysterio hadn't signed a new WWE contract before Extreme Rules and that his current deal was set to expire.

On his recent Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about Rey Mysterio's contract situation. Meltzer noted that Mysterio losing to Seth Rollins was a sign that he didn't sign a new contract:

Rey Mysterio, which is the other question everyone has, he has not signed. My gut is still, as it's been all along that he will, but it has not happened yet. So, that finish was because he had not signed. As I mentioned like if he doesn't sign, the obvious finish is that he has to lose, and if he does sign, the obvious finish is that he has to win. But the reason that they gave that open-ended thing that we may save his eye is in case he does sign. That's their out.

We hope this isn't true. We hope that he ends up signing a short-term deal that allows him to help Dominik transition into WWE programming while he has his well-deserved retirement.
