Rey Mysterio is arguably the greatest masked WWE Superstar in the promotion’s history. The Mexican high-flyer loves football and supports European giants Real Madrid. They are one of the most successful teams in Europe and have several domestic accolades to their name. Managed by the iconic Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid compete in La Liga and have won the league 34 times.

Real Madrid have won the Champions League 13 times, making them the most successful club in the European competition’s history. Like several fans across the world, Rey Mysterio was also drawn to one of the strongest football teams in Spain. He even visited the stadium and cheered for the team when he was in Madrid.

Rey Mysterio actively competes on WWE SmackDown alongside his son, Dominik Mysterio. He was involved in a brutal feud against Seth Rollins last year. Currently, Rey Mysterio competes in the tag team division on the Blue brand of WWE. Despite his hectic schedule, the love for football runs deep in Rey Mysterio’s veins, and he closely follows Real Madrid’s run every season.
