As announced earlier by WWE, a retirement ceremony will be held on next week's edition of WWE RAW, for former World Champion Rey Mysterio. Now, WWE has posted an update on the same and has revealed that "The Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins will be the host of Mysterio's retirement ceremony. Check out the announcement in the tweet below:
Things have certainly taken an interesting turn, and the chances that the retirement ceremony will end without a hitch have suddenly gotten slimmer. Seth Rollins was the one who injured Rey Mysterio's eye a short while ago on Monday Night RAW. Mysterio had congratulated Rollins in a backstage area for Becky Lynch's pregnancy, and Seth didn't seem thrilled with it one bit. Later in the night, Rollins brutally attacked Mysterio and injured one of his eyes in the process.

Rey Mysterio's WWE status is up in the air
Recently, Dave Meltzer had reported that Mysterio hasn't signed a contract with WWE yet, though he is expected to stay with the company. Now that WWE has announced Seth as the host, many are speculating that we are in for a full-fledged feud between him and Mysterio in the coming weeks. This could mean that the retirement ceremony will quite possibly end in chaos.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
