One would have assumed that from the moment that Rey Mysterio returned to WWE, he'd get a push and be a part of the WWE Championship picture on either RAW or SmackDown right away. But somehow that's not been the case and while he's been in prominent storylines, he's just not had the kind of momentum you'd expect from a legend of his stature. Maybe this is a way to elevate him to the heights he deserves.

You know that when David faces Goliath, the crowd usually roots for David. For a change, it won't be Rollins who's the smaller man like he's against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar, but he'll be the giant attempting to put the underdog away, who's gunning for his prized Universal Championship. So, chances are that the WWE Universe will firmly be on Rey Mysterio's side.

It's great to see Mysterio back where he belongs...right at the very top of the food chain again.
