6 Reasons why Rey Mysterio should become the #1 contender to the Universal Championship

#2 He hasn’t had a major championship match since his return

Mysterio hasn't had a top title shot in a long time

Since returning to the WWE last year, Rey Mysterio has battled in several high profile matches. The highlight of Mysterio’s current tenure has been his United States Championship win, but he was only able to carry the title for 15 days before being forced to relinquish it due to an injury.

Being such a huge Superstar with such a massive following, Mysterio is one man who deserves a shot at WWE’s biggest title before he calls it a day. Mysterio has never competed for the Universal Championship and this could be the perfect opportunity. WWE should him a shot at the Championship, so that his fans can rest assured that their idol was given at least one legitimate opportunity at WWE's premier title.

#3 The fans deserve a Mysterio vs Rollins one-on-one match

The two men haven't had a chance to go one-on-one yet

Rey Mysterio competed against almost every single mid-card and upper card wrestler that stepped foot in the ring and remained one of WWE’s biggest babyfaces before leaving the company in 2015.

Upon returning to the company in the latter part of 2018, Mysterio has given fans dream matches involving Superstars such as AJ Styles, Andrade, and Samoa Joe.

Seth Rollins is one Superstar who could prove to be a great opponent for the 'Master of the 619', as the two can work off each other’s unique style. This is a major reason why WWE should book a one-on-one match between these two mega Superstars before it's too late.

A headlining match with such a major title on the line could give fans something to remember before Mysterio actually decides to hang up his boots.
