When was Rey Mysterio drafted at #1?

Triple H defeated Mark Henry in the first match of the 2008 draft, meaning RAW was able to select Rey Mysterio as the brand’s first draft pick.

The high-flyer shook hands with Triple H and teased a future match against “The Game” by staring at his WWE Championship. However, a dream match never came to fruition as HHH moved across to SmackDown later in the night.

To this day, the former WWE Champions have still never met in a one-on-one match.

Where is Rey Mysterio in 2019?

Since returning to WWE in October 2018, Rey Mysterio has been involved in rivalries with Superstars including Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and Andrade.

It looked as though he was going to challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship on the season premiere of RAW on September 30, but Brock Lesnar shockingly attacked both Mysterio and his son Dominik in a segment at the start of the episode.

Mysterio has now introduced Cain Velasquez to WWE as Lesnar’s new challenger for the WWE Championship, so we can expect to see a lot more from the former United States Champion over the next few weeks.
