Rey Mysterio Expected Back on WWE TV Soon?

– According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE is expecting Rey Mysterio back on TV soon. As previously reported, Mysterio has been in conflict with WWE over his contract and has been trying to get out of it, but WWE wanted to extend his deal again due to the significant amount of time he has missed due to injuries.

According to the report, Vince McMahon bent a little to Mysterio’s terms because the company is light on top draws in the Hispanic market. As such, Mysterio’s plans to depart the company and potentially jump to either AAA or Lucha Underground are on hold and he will be returning. WWE plans to use Mysterio both as an in-ring talent and outside of the ring, including heavy promotional work and as an “ambassador” for the company. That term has been increasingly used to give older stars a role within the company without requiring them to be full-time performers, such as Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.
