Rey Mysterio will go down in history as one of the purest and best babyfaces of all time. Throughout the time he’s competed for WWE, he has treated fans to some fresh rivalries in which he always portrays the babyface underdog and gives his heel opponents a good chance to polish their characters.

The three-time World Champion walked into WWE in 2002 after a short time with WCW. He’s had a few successful runs with the company and won many top titles in the process.

The threats to Mysterio's life came when he wasn't signed to WWE

While he’s always had a good time in WWE, he went through a tough phase in 2015 while competing for the Mexican promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). During a tag team match featuring Mysterio, Xtreme Tiger, and his tag team partner Manik, he delivered a dropkick to Hijo Del Perro Aguayo who got badly injured.

Tragically, Perro Aguayo suffered a cervical spine trauma that led to a cardiac arrest caused by the cervical stroke. Aguayo was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead by the doctors later that night.

This did not go down well with several fans who did not realize that Aguayo’s death was not Mysterio’s fault.

Mysterio was bullied by fans who even made death threats to the babyface as they were unhappy with what had happened in the ring. Thankfully, sanity prevailed and Mysterio was not harmed by any of the fans after medical information came to light days after the tragic incident.
