Rey Mysterio's WWE contract status

The biggest story of the day has revolved around Rey Mysterio as the 3-time World Champion's WWE contract has reportedly expired.

Rey Mysterio has been working without a contract, and as we had noted earlier, Vince McMahon turned down the 45-year-old Superstar's demand for a pay rise.

Tom Colohue had added that Rey Mysterio is expected to continue his current tenure in the company until he gets to share the ring with Dominik.

WWE has been building towards Dominik's in-ring debut, and that could be the final destination of the ongoing storyline between the Mysterio family and Seth Rollins & his disciples. Rey Mysterio has been out of action due to the storyline eye injury, which was initially booked to write him off TV if he ended up choosing to leave.

Dave Meltzer had also revealed earlier in the day that there were plans to have a singles match at 'The Horror Show at Extreme Rules' between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio. WWE is reportedly looking to book an 'Eye for an Eye' match, but there has been no confirmation from WWE's end.

Extreme Rules is set to happen on July 19th, and WWE should announce the match soon. There is also a possibility that the WWE books a multi-man match, which could see the babyface team led by Mysterio take on the heel stable of Seth Rollins.

Dominik may ideally sit this one out, and his first wrestling match could happen at SummerSlam, which has now officially been moved to the Performance Center.

Regarding Rey Mysterio's future, WWE will try to keep him in the company to evade interest from AEW; however, as of this writing, the future Hall of Famer has not signed a contract.
