WWE Rumors: Rey Mysterio In Talks With WWE — Will He Return With Lucha Underground In Limbo?


The split between WWE and Rey Mysterio is one that was a long time coming, and many talked about how ugly it ended up getting. Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was rumored to be, and the possibility of Mysterio returning to WWE one day isn’t totally out of the question. With the future of Lucha Underground in doubt, Mysterio has actually spoken with WWE, but will he go back?

The last that was known about a second season of Lucha Underground is that money was holding it up. Cageside Seats had reported earlier this summer that funding for season 2 is what is holding things up. Eric Van Wagenen is a producer with the company and explained it all.

“El Rey absolutely wants us back. They’ve given us an offer on the table, they want us back for 40 more episodes. […] There’s the amount of money El Rey is giving us, and then there’s this amount of money that we need to spend in order to keep the same level of quality that we’ve established.”

Rey Mysterio had apparently signed a rather big-time deal with Lucha Underground after he parted ways with WWE. That was when it was kind of expected that the company would be back soon for a second season.

Well, now the status of the company is up in the air, and it appears as if Rey Mysterio has actually had talks with WWE about a possible return. It seems as if the talks are just very subtle though and as WrestleZone reported, the talk is “casual, insignificant” at this time.

Mysterio has appeared for AAA Wrestling and done independent work since leaving WWE, but he hasn’t really had any other kind of big contract or deal in place. If nothing happens soon with Lucha Underground and the company doesn’t move forward, Rey Mysterio may end up needing to rethink his future place in wrestling.

Earlier this month, Rey Mysterio gave a tell-all interview where he said that the main reason he left WWE is to spend more time with his family. The WWE schedule can be very trying and capitalize a lot of a person’s life.

Still, if Lucha Underground doesn’t ever end up getting going again, Rey Mysterio may need to think about a possible return to WWE. There have been talks but for now, they’ve been insignificant. The future may bring something more serious if WWE and Mysterio can come to some sort of an agreement if need be.
