WrestleMania XL is just around the corner, and as the event draws near, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding storylines that will shape the grand extravaganza.
This week’s edition of SmackDown holds the promise of shedding light on feuds and rivalries heading into WrestleMania, and it might also mark the return of a WWE Hall of Famer who has been absent for four months – Rey Mysterio.
The legendary luchador has been off television since November, following an assault by Santos Escobar. However, recent reports suggest that Mysterio is gearing up for a comeback.
With a scheduled Street Fight between Escobar and Carlito on the horizon, this week’s SmackDown could provide the perfect stage for Mysterio’s surprise return. WrestleMania XL looming, the timing is opportune for a dramatic return, especially considering Mysterio’s history with Escobar.
The ongoing saga involving the Latino World Order and the Legado World Order has been a focal point on SmackDown.
Santos Escobar’s betrayal of Rey Mysterio added layers to this storyline, with the addition of Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza, and Elektra Lopez to Escobar’s faction. Mysterio’s absence has put a pause on the redemption arc, but his return this week could reignite the feud.
WWE seems to have penciled in plans for Mysterio’s return, with the intention of integrating him into WrestleMania XL.
His presence could significantly impact the escalating feud between the Latino World Order and the Legado World Order, potentially culminating in a high-stakes encounter at WrestleMania XL.
Rey Mysterio’s return is not only anticipated for its contribution to the ongoing narrative but could also determine his WrestleMania XL opponent. A possible challenge to Santos Escobar could set the stage for a marquee match at The Showcase of the Immortals.
As SmackDown unfolds this week, the WWE Universe awaits Rey Mysterio’s return, anticipating the ripples it might create in the ongoing Great Latino War and the subsequent developments leading into WrestleMania XL.
