Is there still an interest or demand for the straight-edged Superstar?

#4 Rey Mysterio

Is it time for Mysterio to come home?

The WWE Universe went into a frenzy when Rey Mysterio made an impromptu return at the 2018 WWE Royal Rumble. Many of us, including this writer, were hopeful that the 619 Superstar was home to finish his career where he belonged. Unfortunately, we would all soon learn that his participation in the Royal Rumble match was, in fact, a one-time deal.

The 43-year old is a mega-star who has accomplished more than most professional wrestlers ever dream of. He has done so by being a positive role model for fans, as well as a positive influence on fellow wrestlers he has come in contact with throughout his career.

While I would love to see him come back home to conclude his career under a WWE banner, that may not be exactly what Mysterio himself wants. In a recent interview, the former WCW legend was asked about the possibility of him returning to possibly join the 205 Live roster, and while he had high remarks for the newly branded WWE Cruiserweight Divison, Mysterio made it clear that he was happy to work with Lucha Underground.
