Rey Mysterio Comments on Leaving WWE, What His Future Holds

The last time WWE fans watched former World Champion Rey Mysterio compete in the squared circle was on April 7, 2014, in a one-on-one bout with “Bad News” Barrett.

Mysterio’s 13-year run with company ended in February of this year, with a mutual agreement being reached with WWE on his release.

The 40-year-old recently took to Twitter to offer some thoughts on his departure, and what his immediate future looks like:

I had an incredible time performing in WWE & would love to thank everyone who saw me for the first time & became a fan! My life & career

Plans are heading in other directions,as for now I’m at a very comfortable stage.But we never know what the future holds for us!#Booyaka619 — Rey Mysterio (@reymysterio) September 13, 2015

WWE had a good understanding on my departure. I hope this would answer some of the ? on why I ain’t wrestling with WWE anymore.

Dave Meltzer of PWInsider.com recently reported that there have been “casual insignificant” talks between the two parties on a potential return.

Editor’s Note

There’s no need for Mysterio in WWE’s product right now. Sure, it would be cool to see him make a one-night return to NXT, but on weekly television as a key contributor…….no.
