Rey Mysterio poised for huge championship fight outside WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio recently made a comeback to RAW, and a new report claims that The Master of 619 is set for a big title fight outside the Stamford-based promotion.

Earlier this year, Rey Mysterio was in a rivalry with El Grande Americano when picked up a groin injury and spent months away from the ring as a performer. When he made a comeback to the red brand, he quickly locked horns with his son, Dominik Mysterio, who is the current AAA Mega Champion.

On his YouTube channel, Eduardo Bates, a known Lucha Libre journalist, claimed that the WWE Hall of Famer is set to lock horns with Dominik Mysterio for the AAA Mega Championship. While the insider doesn't know if the icon is slated to take the title from his son, Bates believes it is possible, as Rey has never won the title.

“Rey Mysterio was announced for Guerra de Titanes. I can tell you he is expected to face Dominik there for the AAA Mega Championship. I don’t know if Rey will take the Mega Championship at Guerra de Titanes; that would be very interesting and very beautiful. At one point, Dominik told Rey Mysterio, ‘You’ve never won the Mega Championship,’ so it’s possible Rey takes it from him, and the story develops from there," Bates said. [H/T - EWrestlingNews]

What is next for Rey Mysterio in WWE?

In 2022, Rey Mysterio entered into one of the most serious rivalries in his entire career when his son, Dominiky Mysterio, turned on him and joined the Judgement Day. A few months later, the two finally had a one-on-one fight in California when the WWE Hall of Famer got the better of his son at the biggest stage.

The two have faced each other several times, and Rey and Dirty Dom are again feuding on WWE RAW. In an interview with The Schmo last year, Mysterio said that he wants to retire when the wheels fall off, and plans have changed since his son became heel.

"I got to retire. I got to retire before the wheels fall off as a matter of fact. My plan obviously didn't work out the way I wanted to. I wanted to pass on the torch to my son. It seems like now my son is passing on the torch to me. That's crazy," Mysterio said.

The 50-year-old WWE legend might not have too many years left in him as a performer.
