From Rey Mysterio's WWE debut against Kurt Angle in the opening contest of SummerSlam 2002, the luchador knocked the ball out of the park and seldom fumbled. He sustained throughout different eras, albeit a few top guys have risen up the ranks over the years. One of them being Roman Reigns.
The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion may be on the other side when it comes to the luchador legend today, but this moment happened before the former became The Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio faced Drew McIntyre and current AEW star Samoa Joe, respectively, at WrestleMania 35. Recently, a light-hearted and respectful exuberating backstage moment between the two legends caught the eyes of many fans.
