There have been speculations about the WWE status and future of Rey Mysterio after the injury angle the company pulled off on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer who has previously revealed that Rey’s WWE contract is nearing its end has provided some more update on the situation. According to Meltzer, the Mexican wrestling legend had yet to sign a new deal with the promotion as of last week.
Rey Mysterio signed his current contract for a ‘very high’ amount of money and it’s uncertain if he will be able to get a similar deal under the current economic circumstances.
Regarding the injury angle from this week’s Raw, it was noted that it was a deliberate decision from the company to write Mysterio off the television in case he doesn’t return.
Rey Mysterio signed an 18 months contract with WWE back in December 2018 and while the exact date for it is not known, his deal is nearing its end.
WWE is likely to offer him a large contract to keep him away from the competition but the financial burdens are still there and it would be interesting to see if the two parties are able to come to an agreement.
