Rey Mysterio is one of the best-known wrestlers in the world, at 165 pounds the masked star was able to define a generation and defy belief when he lifted the World Heavyweight Championship.

Mysterio requested his release from WWE back in 2015 and has since been working for a number of promotions around the world whilst also focusing on staying in shape. Mysterio made his shocking return to WWE as part of The Royal Rumble back in January where he stole all of the headlines since he seemed to be in the best shape of his career.
