5 better opponents for Rey Mysterio if he does return for WrestleMania 34

#4 Hideo Itami

Enter — This could be a nice way to make a comeback for Hideo.

Since signing his WWE contract, Hideo Itami has faced a severe amount of adversity, primarily due to his infectious case of the injury bug. However, things could be taking a turn for the better, with his recent involvement with the 205 Live roster.

With his new start as a cruiserweight contender, Itami may finally be pointed in the proper direction and he would certainly be a great candidate for the Cruiserweight Championship. With that in mind, a match with someone the caliber of a Rey Mysterio, on such a huge stage as Wrestlemania...this could n the catalyst needed to get Itami back on track.
