WWE is wrapping up 2023, but now both members of the Mysterio Family on their payroll are going into the Holidays with fresh contracts.
Dave Meltzer reports that Rey Mysterio recently signed a new deal with WWE. It was also reported the same day that Dominik Mysterio renewed his contract with the company, a move that happened last month.
Dirty Dom’s new deal is rumored to be a five-year contract. No note about the length of Rey Mysterio’s new deal was made.
Rey Mysterio has been part of WWE on and off since 2002. He made his most recent comeback in 2018 and, two years later, formed a team with his son, Dominik Mysterio. AEW was actually a thought on the table for Rey Mysterio, but he stayed with WWE for his son, a move that has paid off in time.
Their partnership continued until last summer, when Dominik betrayed Rey, leading to a match at this year’s WrestleMania, which Rey won.
What’s Next For Rey Mysterio In WWE?
Currently, sidelined due to a knee injury, Rey Mysterio’s absence from the storyline occurred after Santos Escobar turned on him following WWE Crown Jewel. The reason behind Escobar’s betrayal was Mysterio choosing Carlito over him.
The expectation is that Santos Escobar will introduce new allies to team with against the LWO. At this time, that storyline may be waiting for Rey Mysterio’s in-ring return, but it was reportedly in the pipeline.
Since parting ways with his father, Dominik Mysterio joined the Judgment Day stable, aligning closely with Rhea Ripley. He is also a two-time NXT North American Champion, with his most recent title loss to Dragon Lee at NXT Deadline earlier this month.
WWE has taken care of the Mysterio Family at this point. Now, both father and son are locked into the company with contracts for years to come.
We will have more updates on WWE’s contract landscape at SE Scoops as they are made available.
