As the WWE universe gears up for another thrilling episode of Monday Night RAW, fans are abuzz with excitement over the long-awaited return of the legendary Rey Mysterio to the ring.
The high-flying luchador, freshly inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, is poised to take on former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston in a first-round match of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament. This marks Mysterio’s first in-ring appearance on the red brand since being drafted just a week ago.
As the clock ticks down on his illustrious career, the 47-year-old wrestling icon is being courted by a slew of superstars eager to share the ring with him one last time. Mysterio’s impending retirement has sparked a flurry of interest, with many of his peers clamoring for the opportunity to face him in what could be one of his final matches.
Mysterio’s recent encounters with his son, Dominik Mysterio, have been nothing short of intense. Their rivalry has been a focal point of recent WrestleMania events, with Rey emerging victorious on both occasions.
Their most recent bout, a tag team match at WrestleMania 39, saw Rey team up with Andrade to take on Dominik and Santos Escobar. While their in-ring battles have been nothing short of electrifying, it’s clear that the time has come for the luchador to pass the torch to the next generation.
In an exclusive interview with Wrestling’s Emily Mae, Mysterio shed light on his retirement plans, revealing that he would be open to a Mask vs. Hair match against his son, should he decide to hang up his boots. This prospect has sent shockwaves throughout the WWE universe, with fans salivating at the prospect of witnessing this emotional, high-stakes match.
While Mysterio’s in-ring prowess remains unmatched, his eventual retirement is a bittersweet reality that WWE fans must come to terms with. As he prepares to face Kofi Kingston on Monday Night RAW, the world waits with bated breath to see what the future holds for this wrestling legend. One thing is certain, however – when Rey Mysterio finally decides to call it a career, it will be an event for the ages.
